a
series of international amateur sports contests that occur every four years. The games originated in ancient Greece, when they were held on the plain of Olympia at four-year intervals from 776 b.c. into the
fourth century a.d. They were revived in the
late 1800s with
goals of peace and fellowship modeled on those of the ancient
Olympics, but with many more events.
