OLYMPICS the Olympic Games imagined as they were in ancient Athens. Three sports are illustrated: the chariot race, the discus throw and boxing; as was the custom at the time, the athletes compete naked. In reality the sports and religious celebrations were held every four years always in Olympia; the first edition of the games was probably held starting on 22 July 776 BC. Watercolored intaglio print, 1819.
