你知道吗，马拉松并不是古代奥运会的比赛项目；古代奥运会法规中规定，腐败的裁判或对手要受鞭刑；柏拉图曾是奥运会的冠军……
The famous marathon race did not exist in the ancient Games. The starting pistol of the first Olympic marathon was fired on 14 April 1896 at 2 p.m.
Famous Greeks attended, or even participated in the ancient Olympic Games: the philosopher Socrates, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle and even the father of medicine, Hippocrates. The philosopher Plato (427-347) was a double winner of the pankration.
The 14 articles of the Olympic regulations included an article on corruption: any corruption of a judge or an opponent would be punished by whipping.
