The Ancient Olympics are historically significant in numerous ways, one of which is that they symbolize the ancient Greek love of discipline and excellence, which later generations have both admired and emulated. Another is that they provide contemporary civilization with a model for peace among different, conflicting societies by setting aside arms and turning energies to peaceful, if also intense, athletic competition.
