The Ancient Olympics started in Olympia, Greece in 776 BC, and they were held in recognition of the Olympian gods. The games were banned in 393 AD after they had been held for about 12 centuries. Since that time, the Modern Olympics were started in 1896. You can find more information here: http://www.olympic.org/en/content/Olympic-Games/Ancient-Olympic-Games/
