In the Ancient Olympics was there an Olympic Torch?
No. There was a sacred fire in the temple of Hestia at Olympia, which was never allowed to go out. But most Greek cities had one of those, it wasn't special to Olympia or to the time of the Games. And of course there was no need to bring a symbolic flame from Olympia to Olympia because the whole of Olympia was already at Olympia. The Olympic Flame was made up in 1928, and the torch relay was made up in 1936.
