The ancient Greek games are commonly referred to as the "Olympic Games." They were held in Olympia every four years, starting in 776 BC, in honor of the god Zeus. In addition to the Olympics, other significant games included the Pythian Games, Nemean Games, and Isthmian Games, each dedicated to different deities and held in various locations throughout Greece. These athletic competitions were integral to Greek culture and showcased physical prowess, skill, and sportsmanship.
