奥运会的起源中文：
有关古奥林匹克运动会的历史源头已经不可考，但是有些神话和传说流传下来。珀罗普斯是奥林匹亚的国王，也是以他的名字命名的伯罗奔尼撒半岛的英雄。 奥林匹克运动会在举行时向他供奉。基督徒亚历山太的革利免声称：“奥林匹克运动会只是供奉珀罗普斯的献祭活动”。
这个神话描述珀罗普斯如何在他的旧情人波塞冬的帮助之下，战胜Oenomaus国王，并和Oenomaus的女儿Hippodamia结成夫妇。这个神话也和阿特柔斯家族的没落和俄狄浦斯的苦难经历有关连。
奥运会的起源英文：
The historical origin of the ancient Olympic Games can not be ascertained, but some myths and legends have been passed down.
Peropus was the king of Olympia and the hero of the Peloponnesian Peninsula named after him. The Olympic Games were held in honour of him. Christian Alexander's Clemens claimed that "the Olympic Games are only a sacrifice to Peropus".
This myth describes how Pelops, with the help of his old lover Poseidon, defeated King Oenomaus and married Hippodamia, Oenomaus's daughter. This myth is also related to the decline of the Atrus family and the suffering of Oedipus.

古希腊人于公元前776年规定每4年在奥林匹亚举办一次运动会(为了和平）。运动会举行期间，全希腊选手及附近的百姓相聚于奥林匹亚这个希腊南部风景秀丽的小镇。公元前776年在这里举行第一届奥运会时，多利亚人克洛斯在192.27米短跑比赛中取得冠军，成为国际奥林匹克运动会荣获第一个项目的第一个桂冠的人。后来，古希腊运动会的规模逐渐扩大，并成为显示民族精神的盛会。比赛的优胜者获得月桂、野橄榄和棕榈编织的花环等。
从公元前776年开始，到公元394年止，历经1170年，共举行了293届古代奥林匹克运动会。公元394年奥林匹克运动会被罗马皇帝狄奥多西一世禁止。
有关古代奥运会的起源的传说有很多，最主要的有以下两种：一是古代奥林匹克运动会是为祭祀宙斯而定期
举行的体育竞技活动，另1种传说与宙斯（Zeus）的儿子赫拉克勒斯（Heracles）有关。赫拉克勒斯因力大无比获“大力神”的美称。他在伊利斯城邦完成了常人无法完成的任务，不到半天功夫便扫干净了国王堆满牛粪的牛棚，但国王不想履行赠送300头牛的许诺，赫拉克勒斯一气之下赶走了国王。为了庆祝胜利，他在奥林匹亚举行了一场盛大的运动会。所以才有了奥运会。
公元前776年至公元前388年伯罗奔尼撒的统治者伊菲图斯（古代奥运会的创始人）努力使宗教与体育竞技合为一体。它不仅革新宗教仪式，还组织大规模的体育竞技、活动，并决定每四年举行一次。时间定在闰年的夏至之后。所以公元前776年的古代奥林匹克运动会就正式载入史册，成为古代奥运会的第1届。参加第一届古代奥运会的国家仅有三个国家——伯罗奔尼撒、伊斯利、斯巴达。当时仅有一个比赛项目。即距离为192.27米的场地跑。
这一时期各城邦之间虽有纷争，但希腊是一个独立的国家，政治、经济、文化都较发达，是运动会的黄金时期。特别是公元前490年，希腊雅典在马拉松河谷大败波斯军之后，民情奋发，国威大振，兴建了许多运动设施、庙宇等，参赛者遍及希腊各个城邦，奥运会盛极一时，成为希腊最盛大的节日之一。
