From the very beginning, the games at Olympia served as a bond between Greeks. The games also strengthened the Greek sense of national unity. Ancient Greeks were highly competitive and their ultimate goal was to be the best. All aspects of life, especially athletics centered round this concept. So it was a great honor for a Greek to win a victory in Olympiad, even if there was no material reward for winning. Olympic Games were closely connected to worship in Greece.
Olympic Games were held as a part of the religious ceremonies in honor of heroes. Olympic Games were also a part of many ancient fertility festivals. The Greek calendar was based on the concept of the four year Olympiad. Every event was referred to in respect of the years between the two consecutive Olympic Games. Messengers known as the "spondorophoroi" carried the word of the sacred truce and the dates of the Olympic Games throughout Greece. All hostilities were ceased in the country to give a safe passage to the athletes to and from Olympia.
