The early Olympic Games were celebrated as a religious festival from 776 B.C. until 393 A.D.‚ when the games were banned for being a pagan festival (the Olympics celebrated the Greek god Zeus). In 1894‚ a French educator Baron Pierre de Coubertin‚ proposed a revival of the ancient tradition‚ and thus the modern-day Olympic Summer Games were born.
