Celebrating Glory of the Ancient Olympic Games

Celebrating Glory Of The Ancient Olympic Games Gifted verse from copper-clad rays of sunshine's gleaming mirth Odes from an era, men competed measuring their worth Olympic contests, arenas full of cheering faces fame and glory given winners of marathon races prowess of those Greek athletes brave, strong and so very bold winners's adulation, worth far more than their weight in gold!
