The Olympic Games are one of the longest running ideas in human history, reborn, reshaped, and repeatedly tested by politics, money, and global change. In this episode of Compact History, we trace the Olympics from sacred contests in ancient Greece to the modern international spectacle, exploring how ideals of honour, nationalism, protest, and commercial power became inseparable from sport. It is a story of ambition, symbolism, controversy, and why the Olympics still matter.
