The Olympic Truce ....... is
a tradition originating from ancient
Greece that dates back to 776 BC.
A "truce"
(Ancient Greek: ékécheiria,
meaning "laying down of arms") was announced
before and during the Olympic
Games to ensure the host city state (Elis)
was not attacked and athletes and spectators could
travel safely to the Games and peacefully return to
their respective countries.
