The modern Olympics started in 1896, appropriately in Athens. The original ones were some 2500 years previously.
Athens is one of only four cities to have hosted the Olympics twice - in 1896 and 2004. Paris hosted in 1900 and 1924, London in 1908 and 1948, Los Angeles in 1932 and 1984. Therefore, in 2012 London will become the first city to host the Olympics 3 times.
In the year 1804 BC the Olympics started by the Greeks.
