Answer:

Although Olympic Games were held to honor the Gods, they also had larger significance for the politics. During the Olympics it was forbidden to wage wars, and people who participate and won the games were celebrated as heroes. Through Olympic Games some countries were even strengthening their position in the Greek world, created allies, etc.

Explanation:

Needless to say that the first Olympics were held in 776 BC. That is important to stress out because most of the Greek city-states didn't exist back then. Additionally, Olympic games were one of the longest traditions in the Greek world, as they were abolished in 4th Century AD by Emperor Theodosius.

The sepoy rebellion broke out in response to Britain's lack of respect for religious beliefs and traditions of the sepoys.

Explanation:

The sepoy mutiny was carried out by the sepoys who worked in British military forces in India. The sepoys were Indians and they were from Hindu or Islamic faith. According to Hindu faith cow is a holy animal mentioned in ancient religious texts.

According to Islam faith pork meat is forbidden food. The Enfield rifle cartridges used in the force at that time contained fats of beef and pork. This was against the religious faith of the Hindus and Muslims and it triggered the protest which came to be known as the sepoy mutiny.
