776 l. BC first description of the Olympic Games. The end of the Olympic Games is associated with the collapse of the Mycenaean culture. During the "Dorian resettlement", when they created "Sparta" on the lands of Loconia, many cultural centers were destroyed. The Alpheus Valley was inhabited by the Aetolians, who conquered most of the peninsula. The inhabitants of Aetolia (Aetolians) settled the Peloponnesian region of Elis. The northern part of the country (the so-called Acquired Aetolia) was inhabited by Illyrian tribes - Apodots, Eurytans, Ophions, Kallians, Agraians, Amphilochians
The country was threatened with devastation when the Hellenic king Iphit turned to the Delphic oracle and received from him through the "pythia" - (fortune teller) - the will of the gods. "Protect your homeland, refrain from wars, maintain friendship between the Greek brothers during the annual peacetime holidays." King Iphit invites the Spartan king Likul to resume the Olympic Games. They are joined by the ruler of the city of Piva - Kleistenes. Mandatory for participation in the Olympic Games was "Hellenic" origin. After the Macedonians were counted among the Hellenes, many of them became "Olympians", including the Macedonian king Philip II - the father of Alexander the Great. Women were not admitted to the Olympic Games. The first to break the ban was Ferenika or Kallipatira, the daughter of a famous fist fighter and her son's coach. Disguised as a trainer, she sneaked into the gameswhen her son won, she threw herself on her son's neck and betrayed herself. But she was spared like the mother of a champion. The games began with the most honorable kind - running on 600 feet of Hercules - the son of Zeus. This is 120 meters or 12,000
12,000 cm / 600 = 20 cm - the length of the foot of Hercules. With a height of 180 cm, I have a foot length of 25 cm, which corresponds to a size of 42.5. 20.1 cm of the foot corresponds to the 32nd shoe size. 180/25 = 7.2. 20 cm * 7.2 = 144 cm height of Hercules. To this it must be added that the skeleton of Ilya Muromets has a height of 170 cm.
