The legend of the origin of the Olympic Games

On the summer solstice of 776 BC, in front of the temple of Hera under the holy mountain of Olympus, a solemn sacrifice lit the flame on the altar, waiting for a group of strong men in the distance to see the flame and run to it. The first soldiers who arrived were designated as messengers to carry the torch.

This is a sacred duty. They will set out from Olympia and send the Oracle to the city-states. After receiving the Oracle, the city-states will immediately disarm and stop fighting, and send people to participate in the Olympic Games on the day of the full moon. Since then, the Olympic Games has become a symbol of peace and friendship. However, there are various legends about the origin of the ancient Olympic Games.

In fact, the source of the Olympic Games turned out to be three different versions of fairy tales, all related to one person, that is Zeus, the most famous god in Greek history. This god has the greatest power. Just like our Jade Emperor, he was so famous that he dominated the West for many years. Then the Olympics will begin with Zeus' father.

Zeus's father is very interesting. When he was young, he heard a fortune teller say. The fortune teller told him that your future children would kill you. So I swallowed all my five children in the afterlife.

After the birth of the sixth child Zeus, Zeus's mother was very nervous. Because she was afraid that Zeus would be eaten by his father again, she hid Zeus in a cave and took care of him by two very beautiful fairies.

When Zeus grew up, he started a duel with his father with the help of his grandmother. Zeus not only beat his father, but also a group of immortals represented by his father. These gods fought against Zeus with Zeus' father.

Later, Zeus forced his father to spit out his five brothers and sisters together, and then built a castle in the Olympic place with his brothers and sisters to fight against the immortal group represented by his father. The war lasted for four years, and finally Zeus and others won. Therefore, the Olympic Games will be held every four years.

The second story involves Zeus' illegitimate child, whose name is Hercules. He was born by Zeus and the beautiful goddess Alkell Meniere. This son is very powerful. He is a Hercules, so he has been fighting with people and demons all his life and is busy fighting every day.

His story is legendary. When Hera, Zeus' original wife, knew that he had given birth to an illegitimate child, she was very unhappy, so Heracles grew up in Hera's jealousy and revenge. In order not to let Heracles continue to be hurt by Hera, alker Maine asked Heracles to do 12 things that others could not do, so as to temper his son's will and increase his knowledge.

One day, when Heracles passed by the city-state of Elis, he saw the king's note, which said that whoever cleaned the cowshed with 3,000 cows in one day would get a reward of 300 cows. Hercules said, "I can!" " Of course, the king wouldn't believe the boy who came from afar. They also made a bet.

In order to prevent the king from breaking the contract, Hercules called witnesses and wrote a contract stating that if he cleaned the cowshed, the king must keep his promise and give him 300 cows. Clever Hercules tore down the partition of the cowshed, dug a ditch next to the cowshed, pumped out the river and washed the cowshed clean.

Later, he reinstalled the partition and the cowshed was completely new. But the king broke the contract. Instead of keeping his promise, he insisted that he had never said that he would give so many rewards. This offended Hercules, who drove the king away in a rage, and all the people who had been oppressed by the king for a long time cheered for it. This happens to be Hercules 12, a great achievement that others can't accomplish.

From this time on, Hercules wanted to host the Olympic Games. Why? Because he has a good relationship with God, he wants to show his strength through the Olympic Games. This guy is a decathlon player. He does what he likes. After hosting the Olympic Games, he won the championship in almost every competition.

It is said that he hosted the first Olympic Games, when there was only one event-running. How long is the track? 192.27 meters, which is said to be 600 times the length of his feet and the length of the race. This is the second story.

The third story is more interesting. It involves the grandson of Zeus, the rope. Pei Sheng's fate is a bit bumpy. His father was sent to hell because of ungodly, so he also suffered jointly and was driven out of Troy. This guy lives in the middle of nowhere, but he also thinks about women when he is down and out.

It is said that Pesos fell in love with Hippodamia, the only daughter of the king of Pisa city-state in ancient Greece. Because the princess is very beautiful, many people proposed to her, and the gate of Pisa was almost crushed. But a fortune teller warned the king: "You can't let your daughter get married, because according to my guess, your future son-in-law will definitely kill you!" " "

This made the king very unhappy, so he came up with a way to prevent his daughter from getting married and countless suitors from complaining: he asked the suitors to have a driving race with himself. If the suitor wins, he can marry the princess; if he loses, he will be stabbed to death. As a result, a total of 13 suitors were killed by Wang Mao

Pei Sheng is the14th suitor, and he happens to be the princess's sweetheart. Encouraged by the power of love, Pesos accepted the king's challenge. But the king's car is the best. It is difficult for Pei Sheng to win the race with his own carriage. So he went for help. Who did he find? He found Poseidon.

Because Poseidon has a very famous chariot of fire. He felt very good, so he borrowed a chariot from Poseidon, which was pulled by four horses and ran very fast. The boy sat in the chariot, trying to run to the finish line.

Unconsciously, when his prospective father-in-law caught up with him in two horse-drawn express trains and prepared to stab his vest with a spear, Poseidon came out and unscrewed the king's wheel. So when the king stabbed Pei with a rope, the wheel fell off and the king was killed.

After the fall, the silly boy looked back and saw that his father-in-law's palace had just been struck by lightning, and the fire was raging, leaving only one pillar. He was frightened and went back to save his future wife. Finally, he got a beautiful marriage, and at the same time, he became the new king of Pisa.

A few days later, in order to celebrate the victory and wedding, Pesos held a grand sports meeting in Olympia. At this grand event, he arranged chariots, wrestling and other competitions. It is said that this is the beginning of the Olympic movement.

These people in the above three myths want to show the strength and beauty of muscles. Just look at all the statues in ancient Greece. They are basically naked. We are not used to it at first sight, because our China culture has never been naked.

Look, when they fight, they don't even wear pants. They are really naked. Look at Greek women, such as Venus with a broken arm. Is it beautiful and naked? Think about our beautiful women in China. When have you ever seen the story of Wang Zhaojun naked, or Diusim naked? number

But you see, all Greek goddesses and all Greek men are basically naked. Do you know why? When fighting, the protagonists in fairy tales are all naked ti to kill and naked ti to fight, just to show the strength and beauty of muscles.

Therefore, the basic spirit of the Olympic Games is the combination of strength and beauty. From these fairy tales, we can see that the Greeks like struggle and competition very much. For example, in the third story, you want to race with your father-in-law in a carriage, and you want to fight with your father. What does this mean? This is the essence of competition.

Then the nature of this competition developed to 776 AD, that is, the beginning of the Greek era, and the sports meeting appeared. And the theme of this sports meeting is very clear, that is, the combination of strength and beauty.

So by the time of the 14 ancient Olympic Games, the athletes who appeared were basically naked. This kind of thing is unimaginable and unreasonable in our China culture, but Greek culture emphasizes the strength and beauty of primitive muscles.

In the first story, Zeus led a group of people to deal with a group of gods brought by his father when dealing with his father. Both sides are equal in number, just like playing basketball and volleyball.

The third story, Zeus' grandson and father-in-law, is also one-on-one. Therefore, this symmetrical competition is the essence of Greek culture-fairness, and this symmetry shows strength and beauty. When he wants to fight, he not only shows great strength, but also moves beautifully. He can make a statue, but all competitions should take fairness as the spiritual connotation.
