The First Recorded Olympic Games (776 BC)

The First Recorded Olympic Games were held at Olympia in the Greek city-state of Elis in 776 B.C., but it is generally accepted that the Olympics were at least 500 years old at that time.
However 776 B.C. is also the first definite date in Greek history . It was computed by a 5th-century-BCE researcher named Hippias.
