The Ancient Olympic Games

Take a trip back in time (to ancient Greece no less!) and discover the life and origins of the Olympic Games. The bold, bright, artwork of this book explores the legends that grew up around the event, the sports on the agenda, and how excitement engulfed the streets of Olympia, the town where the ancient games were held during the classical era. This fascinating history describes how athletes trained and learned about their chosen sports including chariot racing, wrestling, discus throwing, and boxing. The Ancient Olympic Games is full of extraordinary facts including the ceremonies and celebrations that characterised the Games, and the importance of the Heraia, the competition for women organised by women.
