Here it is illustrated that the first Olympics were a far cry from today's athletic contests. Bodies were broken, battles were often fought to the death, and losers were sometimes trampled into the earth...witness the raw competition and splendor of boxing, wrestling, running, and the chariot race. Leonard Nimoy narrates this program from the television series Ancient Mysteries for A & E Home Video which was produced by Henry Schipper with music by Christopher L. Stone and Zeljko Marasovich.
