OLYMPIC GAMES.

The ancients called the southern portion of Greece the Peloponesus or Island of Pilops, but in the modern times it is called the Morea. Within this little mountainous territory were situated the world-renowned cities of Corinth, Argos and Sparta, and about the middle of the western coast was the "Vale of 'Olympia," the most justly celebrated 6pot of all the classic ages. It was here the Olympic games were the most celebrated from the most remote antiquity.

But I propose to speak only of those games of which an accurate record has been kept, and on which was based the whole chronology of the Greeks. These commenced 776 years before Christ and continued in unbroken regularity every four years for nearly 1x70 years, wfien they were abolished by the emperor Theodsius.

I have chosen this subject in order to say something indircctly at least in favor of the necessity of physical culture and training to develop in a people the highest state of civilization.

GREECE WAS THE ENGLAND

of the ancients. She colonized the world, and established her commerce, arts and philosophy from the Euphrates to the pillars of Hercules. No people ever accomplished so much for themselves, or left such a rich legacy to posterity. And it is a conceded fact that not only her military power and maratime supremacy, but

her

proficiency in

science, politics, philosophy and the arts, was largely owing to that careful, thorough athletic training which was given to all her citizens.

THE GRECIAN GAMES.

Whilst the Oympian were the principal there were ttiree other places in Greece where the national festivals were celebrated, cotemporary with Olympia, for more than a thousand years. They were the Pythian, every five years at Delphi which were sacred to Appollo the Isthmian, on the Isthmus near Corinth every four years, sacred to Neptune, the sea god and the Nemean,*near Argus, every three years sacred to Hercules. At ail these festivals foot aud chariot racing and all trials of strength and agility constituted a main feature but at each •f these prizes were awarded for excelence in literary productions, and especially in music and poetry. These were open to all the states and colonies of Greece and all participated in them.

In addition to these festivals of worldwide renown, each city and town had its stadium, as the place was called, where the foot races took place, for races and games every neighborhood practiced them and the desire to witness or engage in them was general among all classes of people. I have examined the ruins of the stadium at Athens. It was in point of size and general form a fair type of all others. It was excavated into a hill mainly in rock to a depth of forty or fifty feet and shaped like a magnet. It is about the eighth of a mile long and one hundred feet wide, was open to the sky and had originally tier after tier of seats rising above each other and extending around both sides and one end, the other end being open towards the city. It would accommodate 50,000 persons. Hippodromes for chariot racing were formed,on the tame design. '**_

THE VALFI 6'P" OLYMVIA"*

where the great festivals were held was the one spot, more than all others in Greece, most sacred to Jupiter. It was a strip of level land on the south side of the river Alpheu6, between Mount Saturn and the sea shore, about three miles long and one wide. Within the Altis, wnich was a wood or grove surrounded by a wall, 6tood the temple of jupiter in which was the collossal statute of that Deity made of ivory and gold by Phedias and accounted one of the^ "seven wonders of the ancient world."' jr

THE FETTIVALS.

took place every fourth year commencing on the 11 day after the first new moon which succeeded the summmer solstice. This made it what is termed In church language, a "mooab'e feast." Our Easter is also regulated by the moon as it comes the first Sunday after the first lull moon following the vernal equinox. The games would therefore always occur during full moon some time in our month of July. They lasted for five days.

They were open to all ireeman of Hellenic blood, and were porticipated in not only by the different states of Greece but by her wide spread colonies. They were held in such high regard that war, which frequntly existed among the states or colonies, did not prevent their observance, for a truce was declared lor sufficient time to permit all who desired, to attend free and unmolested.

Whilst the principal exercise was fast racing, the games embraced wrestling, jumping, throwing, lifting, chariotjracing, in short every honorable athletic exercise that indicated strengthand agility.

THE ONLY PRIZE

awarded was ft wreath of green olive leaves taken from the sacred tree which stood

near

the temple of Jupiter, but to

the Greek eyea no king ever wore a a nobler diadem. The victor also had a right to confer his name upon the Olympiad, and it was frequently known by the name of the victor in the foot races, instead of its number. He also had the right to have his statue erected in the Sacred Grove. On his return to his native c'.ty the whole population turned out to meet him. He was not permitted to enter the gate as a commen citizen, but the wall waa breached for his entrance and the gap closed after he had passed. He was ever after supported at public expense, and honored almost as a God.

The period between festivals was called an Olympiad and all Greek chronology was reckoned accordingly.. Instead of saying Alexander was born 356 B. C. they would say he was born the

7t-*g%

might

the 106th Olympiad. CAXDIDilU VO& OOUT«fcX—»were required to spend 10 months in training under skillful teachers before they presented themselves. They were then taken before ths awful statue of Jupiter who held the thunders in both his uplifted hands, ready to hurl them at the wretch who would forswear himself, and there the candidate, his instructors and friends, with their hands upon the bleeding limbs of the animals upon the sacred altar, swore that they were duly qualified to engage in the games that they would employ no unfair means, and observe the laws relating thereto and when they reached the goal, before they were allowed to enter the stodium, a herald demanded in aloud voice of the assembled multitude if any one could reproach the athlete with having led an irregular life. If silence followed he was permitted to enter as the free, unsullied champion of his city or state.

It would be difficult to imagine the scene which would attend a race of twenty or more 6uch champions in presence of one hundred thousand interested, anxious and excited spectators.

The chariot race6 were held in the Hippodrome, the length of which was an eighth of a mile, and they were required to turn a post or goal six times. The contestor was not required to drive his team, and we learn that the great Alcibiades Hiero, the Tyrant of Syracuse, and after the Roman conquest both Caligula and Nero, the infamous Roman Csesars, all took prizes in chariot racing. When we consider that a great number would start in the race, with steeds whose necks were clothed in thunder that every device which ingenuity could suggest was resorted to by the spectators to enrage and frighten the horses, we can even then get but a feeble idea of what must have been the most exciting scene ever beheld bv man.

For more than a wH

MILLENNIUM OF YEARS

Olympia was the attraction of all attrac tions. and every four years it witnessed anew gathering of the Greek world. The statesman and politician, the artist and the poet, the rhapsodist and the ora tor, the scientist and philosopher, the hero, soldier, patrician and politician, all thronged to this sacred and enchanting valley. The first we know ol" Homer was when recited by rhapsedists to en tertain the multitudes at the games. And from here was radiated to the world every four years, all that was new in politics religion, science, literature, agriculture music, philosophy and the arts. In short all those elements which enter into and constitute civilization, in an age when steam-printing and electricity were unknown were published through the agency of these games.

As each victor in the foot race was entitled to have his statue erected in the sacred grove, and it was usually done either himself, his friends, or native city we can see why Phidias had his studio at Olynipia and why all the artists of Greece visited |the games. They went either to exhibit their works' or to obtain order from the victors. Poets were employed to write ode6 in praise^ of the victors. Pindar, who lived in the sixth century |B. C.,{(rendered his name im mortal by writing odes

in praise

of the victors. Among his poems is one in praise of Hiero, Tyrant of Syracuse, for victory in chariot racing.

There is one to Momico for victory in foot-racing in which it is stated he had come fronri 'the southern shore of the western Mediterranean more than 2,000 miles away.

One Pythias was a victor in the games and his friends applied to Pindar to write an ode in his praise but the Poet demanded such a sum that they declared it would buy him a statue of brass, and retused to pay it. They afterwards changed their minds and procured the ode instead of the statue and their choice was one that took hold on immortality.

Pindar commenced the poem by saying that he was no sculptor, or maker ot images, which could not move from their places and could therefore be seen by none,- but those who take the trouble to go to them—but said he could make a poem, that could fly over the whole earth and publish in every place, that Pythias had gained the crown.

At Olympia was the famous temple of Jupiter which was pronounced the gem of architecture. Within it was the Chriselephantine statue 01 God which WAS known as a wonder of the world.

The genius of ages had there chrys talized the architect's and sculptor's art, in temple columns, and statuary to all the gods. There were temples to Bacchus anH Tuno, Minerva and Venus, Apollo and Diana, and all the lesser deities—and in the sacred grove was a forest of splendid statuary which had been ac cumulating for a thoucand years under the protection of the supreme God of the Greeks and in his most sacred valley. At no single place in the world were there ever so many masterpieces of the architect's and sculptor's arts in marble and brass as at Olympia. Well might the friends of the" victor1!have concluded that a statue of brass Would be more enduring than an ode on parchment. Twenty-four centuries have rolled their currents into the ocean of eternity and we are to day, considering the result of their choice of a monument for Pythias.

Olympia is no more. Its aolid temples, its wondrous statue, the sacred grove with its myriad of statues, altars, trophies, columns, monuments of gods* kings and victors, in brass, stone and iron, are broken in fragments or crumbled to dust, and lie buried far beneath the accumulations ot the valley without a stone to mark the spot:

Five years ago the German Government appropriated a large sum of money and with permission of Greece, sent out a corprof men under the supervisioa of learned engineers and archaeologists to excavate the site of buried Olympia. They have but recently closed their labors. I have read from time to time their reports with great interest.

They found after some search the Vale of Olympia a beautiful yallej covered with olive orchards, vineyards, wheat fields and goat pastures, where the peasants were plowing their field and tending their herds wholly unconscious of the. sacred and and classic associations of the spot. These explorers laid bare .tht foundations and fixed the locality of ths Stadium and Hippodrome, the famous temp

Rome was decorated with hundreds of ship loads of statuary and columns from the Sacred Grove. The metallic works were carried off by the barbarians during the dark ages and vandalism and time broke and crumbled the remains until the yellow waves of the A lpheus covered them with a thick mantle of clay. Wba would have been the fate of a statue of brass?

Pindar wrote the ode, and to-day on the shelves of every well selected library throughout the world, either in the original or in one of the many modern languages into which it has been translated, will be found the Ode of Pindar in praise of Pythias for his victory in the gagpes.

It would be difficult to estimate our inheritance in those games. They gave to Greece her physical yigor and mental superiority. From her treasure we have drawn largely for our modern civilisation. Her philosophy and literature removed was the chief element in dispelling the gloom of the Dark Ages, arid her influence will be felt upon civilized man forever. KMI
