The Olympic Flame or Olympic Torch is a symbol of the Olympic Games. In Greek mythology, the god Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to humans. To celebrate the passing of fire from Prometheus to man, the Greeks would hold relay races. Athletes would pass a lit torch to one another until the winner reached the finish line. The Greeks held their first Olympic Games in 776 B.C. to honore Zeus and other Greek gods. The Olympic Flame from the ancient games was reintroduced during the 1928 Games, and the modern convention of moving the Olympic Flame from Olympia to the Olympic venue began with the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. read more » |
