the games or what we basically now call the Olympics was a way for men to show off their strength. they would travel from miles around just to be able to show off what they could do everything from “track and field” to “MMA” fighting was done I would assume that it was much more harsh then how we do now considering there were no boxing gloves or shields to protect any part of the body. The victor of each game would be talked about forever as the poets wrote and sang about them. But if caught cheating you were made to have a stute built and put on the road for all to see. Much like what happens now we praise our athletes for their strength but if they are caught cheating we strip them of all their glory, much like when Lance Armstrong was found to be using steroids for decades he was like an American Hero and now you hear absolutely nothing about him. Its almost as if we expect Athletes to be God like and without flaws.
