Family Tour

Discover the Ancient Origins of the Games We Watch Today. From 776 BC to 393 AD, the Ancient Olympic Games brought athletes together every four years in Olympia, Greece, for a festival rooted as much in devotion as in competition. This virtual program explores how the tradition began, what competitors actually faced, and lesser-known details that continue to reshape our understanding of the ancient world. USOPM’s Chief Content and Integration Officer Lindsay Huban moderates a conversation with ISOH President Dr. Christian Wacker and Dr. Konstantinos Georgiadis, professor at Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz.
