olympics they would sacrifice animals like oxen, and the athletes would pray to Zeus in hope of victory. They would also make statues of the Greek gods. When they made statues they wanted to make the most perfect body to show how strong and powerful they are. Greece believed that if they did not make there gods happy the gods would cause destruction (As seen in Percy Jackson). If you haven't seen or read Percy Jackson I suggest seeing it, but if you have, the gods that were in the last scene in Olympia were mostly Olympic gods. Which I think is pretty awesome.

AuthorYo it's Grant. Writing about Greece made me think about Percy Jackson. The book will teach you a lot about Greece. I'm not a super fan like some people I know😉 (you know who), but it is still a great book. If you don't have time to read the book than watch the movie. I've been waiting for a movie to come out so I don't have to read a book for such a long time now. I think I'm actually going to have to read it. JK guys. Categories |
