Greeks: Olympic Mind-body Legacy (ca 776 Bc/bce-present)

Like the Phoenicians, the Greeks were a collection of city-states during their great Hellenic period. And even though they often made war on each other, during each Olympic Games celebration every four years they sublimated their violence into a fusion of mind and body worship dedicated to their chief god, Zeus. This great ideal of the Greeks has been more longlasting throughout history than any of their others.
