The games date from 776 BC., and reached their height in the 4th and 5th centuries BC. In AD 393, they were ended by Christian Byzantine emperor Theodosius I. It was not until 1896 that the modern Olympics were staged again, and they have been repeated every four years with the exception of 1916 (World War I), 1940 and 1944 (World War II).
In the very first Olympic games, only the stade foot-race was held. As time went on, more events were added to the competition. Historians have speculated that the games in 776 BC were not the first games held, but the first organized games which served as a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa.
