- Welcome to the new series on the Makers Rage podcast, where we explore "Five and a Half Great Things" that have defined the Olympic Games across history. We’ll journey back to 776 BCE, when the Olympic flame was first lit, and the stadion race marked the beginning of an era. Discover how the games evolved, from the introduction of the pentathlon and hoplitodromos to the creation of the Panhellenic games, uniting Greek city-states in friendly competition. We’ll note the impact of the Roman conquest, which saw the games banned in 394 AD, only to be revived over a thousand years later in 1896. Explore the significance of the Olympic creed, the origins of the marathon, and the ongoing discussions around fairness, including the impact of doping and modern controversies. Join us as we uncover how these traditions have shaped not only sports but also cultural and historical identities across the world.
