themacguy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I remember watching this documentary some time ago about the ancient olmpics. Anyway, in one part I think it mentioned (I don't quite remember) that only first place was considered an honor and second place meant nothing. Is this true or did I hear something wrong?

Powa Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I guess it would make logical sense. I mean, what is second place? The first loser if you ask me. But yeah, you are most probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scudworth Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Says here that everyone was given something, but that the winner gained the honours, which were most coveted of all. http://www.museum.upenn.edu/new/olympics/o...cathletes.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
