The ancient Greeks invented the Olympic games. The first games were held in 776 BC. For a very long time, only men were allowed to compete. The games were held every four years. Different Greek city-states would all participate, so they would stop fighting wars while the games were going on. This meant the states had to cooperate. Today, different countries participate in games, and men and women are both allowed to participate.
