Publisher's Note Here is a description of the ancient Olympics: how and why they started, what events they included, who competed, who watched, and what the athletes wore. Interesting facts about some of the legendary athletes are included also. The ancient Olympics was a religious festival as much as a sporting competition. The Games at Olympia honored Zeus, the ruler of heaven, and Nike the goddess of victory. "Nudes and Nikes" gives the history of an event that has occurred every four years for the past 1,200 years.
