Main Article Content
Abstract
Convinced of the benefactor influence of sport on the education of young people, Pedro de Coubertin took the initiative that revived them from 1896, as a field of experiences for the deployment of personality, playing field to practice democratic coexistence and opportunity to try perfection; therefore its motto citius (faster), altius (higher), fortius (stronger). This educator followed the neo-humanistic intellectual model inspired by the Greeks.
For more than a thousand years the Greeks, in ancient times, held the Olympic Games - in addition to many similar ones - strongly attached to the religious life of their nation.
The prize at those Olympics consisted of a crown of olive leaves, taken from the sacred olive tree that grew behind the temple of the father of the gods - is that we talk about the pagan culture of the Greeks. It tells the story that when the victors returned to their cities, they were greeted with extraordinary honors, among which was erecting statues in his honor.
