This is a teaser of the bonus episode, The Olympic Games found over on Patreon.We now visit the event that would come to define the start of the Archaic Age, the Period we are now exploring. The modern Olympic Games would take their inspiration from the Ancient games first held in 776 BC at the Polis of Olympia, give them their name. In this episode we look at the revival of the ancient tradition just over 100 years ago, which would establish the modern Olympics still held today. We then look to the Ancient games, what they were and how they were apart of Greek culture, While also seeing the differences with what we celebrate today.We then look at the 1000 year period they would be held, seeing how they would end up declining and vanishing from history.If you would like to hear more and support the series click on the Patreon link at the bottom of the page or you can head to my website to discover other ways to support the series, HereNew bonus episodes and series updates come out in the first week of every month, Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/castingthroughancientgreece)
