The Olympic Games were founded in 776 BCE, during the Greek Archaic Period, and were intended to unite the Greek communities culturally and reinforce a shared Greek, or Panhellenic, heritage. They were also held to honor one of there gods, Zeus.

Modern-day Olympics are used to promote the idea of sound mind and body, and to create friendly relations among nations.
