Olymic   Games  eight

 

 

Another fairy story is the origin of the Olympic Games comes from the Tenth Olympian Ode of the poet Pindar. He describes a myth of how Herakles, on his fifth labor, had to clean the stables of King Augeas of Elis. Herakles approached Augeas and agrees to clean the stables for the price of one-tenth of the king's cattle. Augeas agreed, and then Herakles changed the Kladeos and Alpheos rivers to flow through the stables. Augeas did not perform his promise, however, and after Herakles had finished his labors he returned to Elis and waged war on Augeas. Herakles sacked the city of Elis and opened the Olympic Games in honor of his father, Zeus. It is said that he taught people how to wrestle and measured out the stadium.
