It meant pretty much the same to the Ancient Greeks as it does to us today- some of it was symbolic, some of it had religious significance, some of it was a form of self-expression, some of it created for sheer beauty, and also to make the observer consider it's impact upon them; how it made them feel, what questions it posed to their conceptions of other matters, whether it had a deeper meaning and was trying to convey something beyond it's meagre appearance, whether it raised any questions or provoked any thoughts within the viewer etc. etc. A lot of Ancient Greek art was of religious intent and meant to convey spiritual or metaphysical imagery, but by no means all of it.
The Olympics greatly affected Greek art by inspiring artists to create the statue Discobolus and many other copies of it. Also, it influenced artist to paint Olympic events on pottery. The Olympics didn't affect Greek art negatively, but very positively.
