Greece is the home country of the Olympic Games. Olympia, a Greek city, was known to be a very important centre of athletics. The Olympic games, held there every four years, were so important in Greek life that they were used as the basis for the Greek calendar.
The Olympic Games were held at the sanctuary of the Olympian Zeus at Elis; the Pythian Games were held at Delphi; the Nemean, in Argos, at the sanctuary of Nemea, renowned for the labor in which Heracles killed the lion whose hide the hero wore from then on; and the Isthmian games, held at the Isthmus of Corinth.
