Unit 2The Olympic GamesThe Olympic Games in Ancient Greece Introduction In the ancient times, every four years in the summer period, a major event, which lasted seven days, was held in Olympia, a city in Ancient Greece. Officially established as a celebration at the beginning of the 9th century BC with a law, it included religious rituals and athletic games. With the same law, the area of Olympia was considered a sacred place while a truce- ekehiria- was initiated: during the Olympics, all the conflicts among the ancient Greek cities-states stopped. Preparation for the Olympics The Palaestra, a square building-3rd century BC consists of an open peristyle courtyard with rooms round it. It was an area in which athletes trained for wrestling, boxing and jumping. The first written testimonies with the names of winners, date back from the year 776 BC. There were specific preparations for the event which were:
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Stadium, where the athletic games were held, was 212.54m long and 28.50m wide. There were no seats, apart from the stone exedra of the Hellanodikai standing opposite the altar of the goddess Demeter Chamyne, and the embankment could easily seat 45,000 spectators. The GamesA general view of Ancient Olympia as it is today. Religious rituals were held at the beginning and the end of the games. An important notice is that except the priestesses, women were not allowed to watch the games and mothers and sisters of the athletes stayed at the opposite side of the nearby river.

She thought, “I don’t want this man to die.” So she said to her father, “Tell him to go away. The race will not be run today.” But Hippomenes said,Listening text“These are her rules: she will marry the man who runs faster than her. Come on-- let’s run!”
When the race started Hippomenes ran fast, but Atlanta ran even faster. Soon she was in front. At once Hippomenes threw one of the goldenapples. It fell far to the side of Atlanta and she ran to get it. As she picked it up, she saw Hippomenes was in front. So she ran very fast until she ws in front again. Just then Hippomenes threw another apple over her head and far to the side. Again she stopped to pick it up, and Hippomenes went in front.
When she finally caught up with Hippomenes the second time, he threw the third and last golden apple. As it flew through the air Atlanta saw it and wanted it. So she picked this one up too. By this time Hippomenes was almost at the end of the race. Atlanta could not catch up with him because the apples were too heavy. So Hippomenes won the race and married Atlanta. Thanks to the goddess they lived happily ever after.Listening (P48)Smoke signals on the Great Wall to warn of invasion.A message in a bottle in the ocean.A man sending a homing pigeon to its home with a message tied to its leg.Task 1: Leading in
Do you know there is an event called “Marathon”?
Do you think there was such an event in ancient Olympics?
The Marathon was a modern
event that was first introduced in the 1896 Olympic Games. The distance is 26 miles 385 yards or 42,195 kilometres. It’s a race in honor of Phidippides, an ancient runner. In the 5th century B.C, the Persians attacked Greece at Marathon near Athens. PhidippidesThe Greeks were very worried and didn’t know what to do. They sent Phidippides to Sparta to ask for help for the battle…Task 2: Listen to get the main idea.Phidippides sent his message miles away all by himself on foot.What was Phidippides’ job as well as running?
Phidippides’ job was a soldier as well as a great runner. He fought in the Battle of Marathon against the Persians. He also sent messages miles away by running. Task 3: Answer the questions.2. Why did the Greek army go to Marathon?
Their city was going to be attacked, so the Greek army went to Marathon to fight their enemy. 3. Did Phidippides do what he was asked? How do you know?
Phidippides did what he was asked. We know because there is a mounument to him and to the dead soldiers at Marathon. He died giving his message.PHIDIPPIDIES AND THE MARATHON
In the modern Olympic Games the longest running race is called the Marathon. It gets its name from a town in Greece called Marathon which is 26 miles from Athens, the capital city of Greece.Listening textThis is the story of why the Marathon race is included in the Olympic Games.
Once there was an ancient Greek soldier called Phidippides. He ran so fast that he was often sent on long journeys with important messages. One day the leaders of Athens realized that their city was going to be attacked. They sent their army to the small town of Marathon, where they fought their enemies. It was a very long and hard battle, but at last the army from Athens won. They were very happy. However, they knew that the people of Athens would be wondering what had happened. So they asked Phidippides to go to Athens and tell them the good news. Phidippides set off. He was very tired after all the fighting but he ran as fast as he could. As he got near Athens he began to slow down. His head was bursting and he could hardly breathe. As he got to the centre of the city, he fell to the ground. All the people rushed up to him. Phidippides opened his mouth. “ Athens is saved!”he cried. Then he fell down dead. His story became so famous that it is remembered by the Marathon race of 26 miles, which is the distance from Marathon to Athens.For each Olympics, a new flame is
started in the ancient Olympic stadium
in Olympia, Elis, Greece, using a parabolic mirror to focus the rays of the Sun. This flame begins its Olympic Torch Relay by touring Greece. The flame is normally taken to the country where the games will be held (usually by airplane). The flame is then carried around theListening (P51)country where the games are to be held, using a series of torches carried by people running, walking, riding horses and camels, scuba diving, and using other means of human conveyance. The last runner uses a torch to light the large Olympic torch which burns throughout the games. The flame is extinguished during the closing ceremony. A new Olympic torch is designed for each of the games. Ex 2:
Number the events and discuss them in pairs.
Answers:
5 – 7 – 2 – 1 – 6 – 3 – 8 - 4Listen to the tape again and discuss the questions with your partner.
1.Why does the torch begin its journey
in Greece?
Ancient Greece was the birthplace of
the Olympic Games so it is
appropriate to light the flame there.2. Why are there Special Olympic
Games?
The modern Olympic Games considers everyone should have their chance to take part in the Games. If you are mentally or physically disabled, it would obviously be unfair for you to take part against other able-bodied competitors. So the Olympic movement has devised two sets of extra Game: the Special Games (for mentally less able) and Paralympics (for physically handicapped competitors).Listening textA BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ANCIENT AND THE MODERN OLYMPICS
Hello! I’m the torch that lights the Olympic fir and starts every modern Olympic Games. I always begin my journey from Olympia in Greece where the Ancient Games were first held. I’m usually lit by the sun there and carried by many runners from different countries. Many people come to watch as I travel through their countries to the host city. However, only the best athletes carry me! It’s a great honour and many athletes hope to get the chance to do so. The greatest honour is to be the last athlete who carries me into the stadium where the Games will be held. The last athlete gets the opportunity to light the Olympic fire. That fire will burn for the whole period of the Games and will only be putout when the Games end. I enjoy being part of so much sporting friendship. Two special sets of Olympics are held at the same time as the Summer Olympics. One is for people with physical difficulties and the other for those with learning difficulties. I am always happy to see athletes help each other and feel excitedwhen new countries get Olympic medals. It is a wonderful experience to be a bridge between the ancient and the modern Olympic Games. Long may the Olympics continue! Finish the exercises on the workbook. Homework
