Fun fact.
In 393 CE, Emperor Theodosius I banned the Greek Olympics due to the religious element of the celebration. He considered the Olympics to be a pagan festival, which had no place in his Christian empire.
As a consequence, the games were cancelled and didn’t start up again for over 1,400 years, until 1896.
