古奥运会衰落原因剖析

Analysis of the Causes of the Decline of Ancient Olympic Games

古希腊奥运会作为一种泛希腊的体育文化传统,它的产生有深刻的社会基础和历史根源。古奥运会衰落和灭绝的根本原因是它所赖以生存的思想基础、社会背景以及由此产生的文化现象已经发生改变、不复存在。外在症状表现为希腊城邦制度的衰落;希腊社会文化内涵的变化;基督教的国教化;运动中过度的职业化、商业化、政治化。

Ancient Greek Olympics, as a Pan-Hellenic sports culture tradition, is deeply rooted in the Greek social basis and history. The root causes of the decline and extinction of it lie in the change and extinction of its ideological foundation, social background, and cultural phenomena, upon which it is based. It is manifested in the decline of Greek city-state system, the change of Greek social cultural connotation, the repulsion of Christianity, and the excessively professionalized, commercialized, and politicized game.
