Description - Olympus: Warrior Athletes of Ancient Greece by Dyan Blacklock
The 8th century BC, and the city-states of Greece are in an almost constant state of war. To stop the bloodshed, King Iphetus of Elis revives a tradition, an athletic contest to honour the gods, and calls on warring groups to send contestants to the sacred grove at Olympia. This book looks at the athletes of the first Olympic Games.
