The Olympics are coming! The Olympics are coming! :squee:

I love the Olympics and everything it represents ... or should represent.

I've finally had a chance to finish one of the many pieces I had started and just in time, too. One of these days I will focus on the background and actually DO a background, but today is not one of those days.

As always, if you :+favlove: please leave a comment!

Edit: Well done, London, well done. The lighting of the torch left a tear in me eye.

Nice one XD. But wasn't the first Olympics in 1894, long after these two would have been gone? :D

The most known myth surrounding the origin of the Olympic Games was that of Pelops, a prince from Lydia who wanted to marry the daughter of King Oenomaos. To do so any suitor must compete against the King in a Chariot race and if he lost he would be beheaded. Pelops replaced a pin with wax in the chariot of the King who was then killed. Pelops married Hippodamia and founded the Olympic games to celebrate his victory. A different version says they were funeral games in the memory of Oenomaos. The east pediment of the Zeus Temple in Olympia represents the start of the chariot race between Oinomaos and Pelops, with Zeus in the center.

Another myth comes from the Tenth Olympian Ode of the poet Pindar who tells how in his 5th labor, Hercules had to clean the stables of King Augeas of Elis. After disagreements, broken promises etc. Hercules sacked the city of Elis and instituted the Olympic Games in honor of his father, Zeus. He is said to have taught men how to wrestle and measured out the stade, or the length of the footrace. At the first Games Hercules was the only contestant ( Well a rather boring competition). Now while this was possible for the running and throwing events it was a problem for boxing or wrestling and his father Zeus who was present at this first Games finally entered the wrestling match against Hercules and grappled him to a draw.

The Olympic stadium course length was 192.27 meters or 600 Hercules foot lengths that provides an idea of Hercules foot size:
