| Ancient Greece is the birthplace of many modern sports games. The Olympic Games are especially popular (although in Ancient Greece there were much more of them – the Pythian and others). The main awards for the athletes were: an olive wreath (collected from a tree near the Temple of Zeus) on the head and a palm branch in the hands (distinctive signs of the gods Apollo and Dionysius). These gifts were symbols of victory.
