Description
Discover the Ancient Origins of the Games We Watch Today.
Monday, August 18 | 9:00-10:00 a.m. MTFrom 776 BC to 393 AD, the Ancient Olympic Games brought athletes together every four years in Olympia, Greece, for a festival rooted as much in devotion as in competition. This virtual program explores how the tradition began, what competitors actually faced, and lesser-known details that continue to reshape our understanding of the ancient world. USOPM’s Chief Content and Integration Officer Lindsay Huban moderates a conversation with ISOH President Dr. Christian Wacker and Dr. Konstantinos Georgiadis, professor at Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz.
