However, the athletic tradition was resurrected about 1500 years later: The first modern #Olympics were held in 1896 in Greece. It marked the rebirth of an incredible tradition that continues to unite the world today.
The first Olympic Games took place in the 8th century B.C. in Olympia, Greece. They were held every four years for 12 centuries. Then, in the 4th century A.D., all pagan festivals were banned by Emperor Theodosius I and the #Olympics were no more.
