Greek city where they took place. Like the summer Olympics of today, the ancient Olympics were
held every four years.

about 45,000 people. “We have accounts of visitor and pilgrims setting up tents all around the

time the games grew to include wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and other sports. Women were
