Did you guys hear about the plan to allow non-Greeks to compete in the Olympics? Personally, I’m against the whole idea.
They want to take out the comedy and tragedy contests as well. What are we supposed to watch in the amphitheatre?
You're viewing a single thread.
Outrageous! What will they think of next? I guess we'll just let all the competitors place curses on eachother too then? The statues of Zeus are there for a reason, people!
let all the competitors place curses on eachother too then
Are you telling me you're not supposed to do that?
That attitude will soon have you pay for the next statue of Zeus, mister.
(Adding: there's a row of Statues of Zeus near the Olympic stadium, with plaques describing why they were placed. The idea was that these would be bought with the fines placed on cheaters. One common way to cheat was to have various gods and/or powers place a curse on the competition, and we have numerous records of this)
