Looking Back at the Greek Olympics: Athens2004 comes to a close today with the marathon. In these historic Greek games, the men's marathon will trace the legendary route that was run by Pheidippides in 490 BC to announce the Athenian victory at the battle of Marathon.

From start to finish, these games in Greece have reminded the world of the heritage of the Olympics. The name for the Olympiad was taken from the site of ancient games at Olympia, Greece, where every four years for twelve centuries men competed in the nude.

Apparently, men go faster, score higher and look stronger if they don't have hairy backs. Thank the gods for Razorba.
