what do you mean "dose" Before answering this question and indeed before reading the answer, it is important to know something about the origin of the torch and ancient Greece and Greek Mythology. In the original games, which were held in the city of Olympia, Greece, there was an altar that was dedicated to the godess Hera and it was here that the flame would burn continuously and for the ancient Greeks this was a divine connotation. It was thought that the flame was stolen from the gods by Prometheus. During the games, which were in honour of the Greek god Zeus, many other fires were lit at his temple and that of his wife Hera. The Olympic Torch and in particular, the flame, is a symbol of the games remembering the theft of the flame from Zeus by Prometheus.
