Before answering this question and indeed before reading the answer, it is important to know something about the origin of the torch and ancient Greece and Greek Mythology. In the original games, which were held in the city of Olympia, Greece, there was an altar that was dedicated to the godess Hera and it was here that the flame would burn continuously and for the ancient Greeks this was a divine connotation. It was thought that the flame was stolen from the gods by Prometheus. During the games, which were in honour of the Greek god Zeus, many other fires were lit at his temple and that of his wife Hera. The Olympic Torch and in particular, the flame, is a symbol of the games remembering the theft of the flame from Zeus by Prometheus.

The flame is not carried from mt Olympus but from the ancient sanctuary of Olympia in southeastern Greece, in the regional district of Elia (Ηλιεία in Greek), in Peloponnese. The first Olympic games ever (named after the region) took place there in 776 BC. The flame used to burn non stop during the Games back at the time, and it symbolised the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus. The Olympic torch relay from Greece to various cities around the world, has no ancient precedent whatsoever and it was introduced for the first time in the Olympic games of Berlin in 1936 (the Nazi Olympics) by Carl Diem, who imagined a symbolic pageant that would give the Nazi Germany a bit of the old glory of ancient Greece, by the transit of a lit flame from Greece to Berlin by a relay of torch-bearing runners. Although the transfer of the Greek flame around the world gives a mystifying glory of the past to the modern Olympic Games, it is not understood why this Nazi extravaganza is still happening today.
