Olympics

London Olympics 2012

Origins The origins of this event come from Olympia, a place in the wilderness dedicated to the god Zeus and his wife Hera. The modern day lighting of the flame in Greece is in the same place where the ancient temple of Hera was built.

So finally the Olympics have arrived in London and I have a feeling it’ll be out of this world for many reasons. It should be a fantastic spectacle and as it’s on home turf, then Team GB may get the inspiration to perform above themselves and perhaps even become like a god even just for a few moments.

The Olympic flame is based on Prometheus nicking the flame from Zeus to give to mankind. The fire itself was seen by the ancients as a spark of the sun and so much of the opening ceremony which continues to this day is basically sun worship. By giving fire to mankind, the ‘carrying of the torch’ was seen as man’s sudden awareness that he had a ‘divine spark’ within and allowed the potential to become gods themselves. The symbol of torch bearer can be seen on many statues with the most famous being the statue of liberty.

The next pages will highlight the main British hopes for medals.
