To browse Academia. Angelos Syrigos. Heather Reid. To the ancients, an Olympic victory was imagined as a visit from the winged goddess Nike, who swooped down from Olympus to briefly bless the mortal athlete with a divine crown of sacred olive. To us moderns, Olympic victory is more likely to be associated with Nike, the multinational megacompany, which swoops down from Wall Street to briefly bless the athlete with a fat paycheck and temporary status as a corporate shill.
Just as the corporate Nike differs from the goddess after whom it is named, the modern Olympic Games differ in important ways from their Ancient Greek ancestor. Nevertheless, the modern Olympic Movement should take its ancient inspiration seriously. After all, the ancient festival boasts a nearly uninterrupted millennium-long history, and modern Games already have been stopped twice by war in the relative infancy of their first century.
For a movement that proclaims one of its central goals to be peace, that does not seem the most auspicious of beginnings. Do the ancients have any lessons to teach us moderns about the relationship between sport and peace? Or is the Olympic ideal of peace, like the ancient goddess Nike, merely a rhetorically convenient marketing tool to be exploited for power and profit?
In this paper, I suggest that we can learn from the ancient association between Olympic Games and peace because that association derives not merely from mythology and rhetoric but also from particular and perhaps unexpected effects of athletic competition itself. I think that Olympic sport taught the ancient Hellenes something about peace by obliging them to set aside their conflicts, treat others as equals, and tolerate differences.
