A lot of them lasted far longer than any other honor made for the same purpose. Barron Pierre de Coubertin, wanted to fully imitate the ancient Olympics every way. Included in Coubertins vision was to feature an artistic competition modeled on the Ancient Olympics. Barron's desire came to fruition at the Olympics held in Athens in 1896.

the culture of the ancient olympics isn't much different from the present day olympics we hold every four years. many Greek states were governed by aristocrats, which are a group of rich landowners. this was in 800 b.c. In 750 b.c., the athenian power was controlled by the council. democracy was introduced in 500 b.c. greece culture has been around for thousands of years, and a lot of it is still included in the present day.
many parts of ancient greece and the ancient olympics are still included in the world we live in now. for example, we still hold the olympics, and still have many of the same events included, and we still use many of the same objects greeks used thousands of years ago.
greeks could learn about different cultures with so many different seas surrounding them, three to be exact. these seas helped them learn what other city-states cultures included. For example, the type of food they ate, how they survived, sailing, trading, and other activities of their daily lifestyles.
it is amazing to look at our past and see how ancient people's goals and ambitions and lifestyles were very similar to our own present day lives. the lower and upper class struggle still exists today as the poor in our society try to become part of the wealthy class.
