 The Olympic Games were originally held in ancient Greece as a religious festival to honor Zeus, the king of the Greek gods.

The Games began around 776 BCE in Olympia, a sacred site dedicated to Zeus.

Olympia housed a massive temple and the famous statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
