The answer is: The Greeks held the athletic games to honor Zeus.

The Olympics were intended to be a solemn ceremony where ancient Greek belief gave honor to one of the major Gods: Zeus. While these games were held, all differences from the city-states were conciliated. All political hostilities were paused. Unity was promoted by reinforcing cultural religious practices from the Hellenic world. The Olympic stadium was attributed to Heracles building the place as a temple for worship to Zeus. The ruins we see today are a historical record for a major sanctuary from the time.

How did the conflicts between Iberian and American civilizations forge connections that changed them all
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The conflicts between Iberian and American civilizations resulted in a solid Iberian victory, because both Portugal and Spain became the political authorities in the region, replacing the old indigenous political rule.

However, these conflicts also forged a new kind of civilization, ruled by Iberians, but mostly populated by people of mixed iberian-american ancestry. The cultural diffusion and mixture was very strong, and this is why today countries like Brazil, Mexico, or Colombia, are considered to be mestizo or mixed countries.
