The Summer Olympics originated in ancient Greece around 776 BC, primarily as a religious festival honoring Zeus. Held in Olympia, these games featured athletic competitions among city-states and were part of a larger series of games known as the Panhellenic Games. The modern revival began in 1896, largely due to the efforts of Pierre de Coubertin, who aimed to promote international peace and unity through sport. The first modern Olympics took place in Athens, Greece, featuring 13 nations and 43 events.
