The Games were an important part of ancient Greek culture and the winners were highly respected.Part 2 ReadingPart 1 (Para. 1-2)In the first part of the text, it introduces the history of the ancient Olympic Games. The Games were held in honor of the Greek gods and were considered a religious festival.

During the Games, wars and conflicts were stopped to allow athletes and spectators to travel safely.

He worked hard to convince people that reviving the ancient Olympic Games was important. Finally, in 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece. The event included a marathon race, which was inspired by the story of the Greek messenger Pheidippides.
