The ancient Greeks loved competitions of all sorts, especially
sporting competitions. The Olympics were not the only
competition games held in ancient Greece, but they were the most
popular.
The following is a humorous look at
five ancient Greek city-states. In truth, the Greeks took the games
quite seriously. Nearly all the ancient Greek cities sent teams to
participate in the ancient Greek Olympics.
If two or more Greek
city-states happen to be at war with each other when the game date
arrived, war was halted for the duration of the games.
Everyone
wanted their city-state to win!
