Sing, Muse, of Gods and Wrestlers, Origins & Odes of the Ancient Olympics

A look at the ancient and mythological history of Olympics, featuring some songs written for the ancient games' victors.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Pindar, the Odes, translated by Andrew M. Miller; readings from the Ernest Myers translation; Pausanias' Description of Greece translated by WHS Jones.
