It influenced later civilians because if it wasn't for their Greek minds to come up wit h Boxing, Wrestling, Chariot Racing, Riding, Pankration, or Pentathlon then more than likely - we wouldn't know what that is. Therefore, Greece has gave us more than an idea, they hhave gave us the whole game, we just added some ideas here and there. & That is how those specific sports have came to be. More than an inference, there is more.

How did the Olympics influence later civilizations?

The ancient Olympics supposedly put the love of sports above the petty disputes of countries various politics. Whenever the Games were held - (every 4 years) - a truce throughout the whole of Greece was declared. For us it is about sports -- for theancient Greeks - it was a important religious event to honor the Gods.Think of how Hitler attempted to awe the world with his Nazis during the 1936 Olympics but the other countries -- Jesse Owens, a black American in particular - showed what that one man can do in the face of overwhelming opposition. And shattered the claims of racial superiority by the Nazis.
