... hips. These slabs, created by the Suzerains an ancient tribe that long since has disappeared, are dated as at least 5000 years of age. (Menke)
The Greeks, who regarded a discus thrower as the best type of athlete, placed the wrestler second. Sometimes it is difficult to separate their mythology from historical fact. For example, we know that the Olympic Games were first held in 776 B.C, but it is also said that Zeus and Kronos wrestled for possession of the art on the peaks near Olympus and that the games were held in honor of the victor Zeus.
