Ancient Olympics - The Real Story
http://www.upenn.edu/museum/Olympics/olympicintro.html
"Were the ancient games better than ours? More fair and square?
More about sports and less about money? Are modern games more
sexist? More political? Have we strayed from the ancient Olympic
ideal?  Read on and decide for yourself."  There is much talk of
how commercial today's Olympic games are.  Where the ancient games
purer? The conclusion drawn by this expert from the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology may surprise
you.
