Best Answer

The sacred truce is a truce/treaty which says that any city-stated who fights for a month before,during and after the games will be fined and banned for that year.

Men would travel around the Greek Empire spreading the news of the Olympics and to stop fighting.

The sacred truce was to ensure that people could travel to the games safely without being killed or caught up in a war.
