The Olympic Games in Greece at the time of the gods were very similar to the Games we hold today. They were quite different too with fewer events and different styles. Some of the games used back then were; pentathlon, wrestling, boxing, foot race wearing armor, four horse and single horse chariot racing and running 200, 400 and 4,000 meters. The games had strict rules where women could not compete let alone watch the games. Some people died during the Olympics due to the events. if a war was going on, they would make a truce so the games could go on. The years were recorded according to the Olympics. The games took place every four years just like they do now but were held during August or September. The games were held in honor of Zeus and would last five days.
