Olympiad: A Highly Anticipated Event
The Olympiad held a prominent place in ancient Greek culture, eagerly anticipated and attended by large crowds. Greeks were so passionate about the Olympics that they structured their social calendars around it.
The Olympics occurred once every four years, typically in July or August. As mentioned earlier, the Olympiad was followed by an Olympic truce, a declaration of peace that postponed hostilities within the host nation for three months.
