History Of The Olympics We believe that the first Olympic Games were held in 776B.C. to honor the god Zeus and Hera. The games were always held in Olympia. In 393 C.E., the Roman emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, eliminated the Games because of their pagan influences. The Olympics later started up again in 1896. Back to Room 1
