Write a note on the decline of the Ancient Olympic Games.

Answer»

Decline for the Ancient Olympic Games:

The Olympic games continued for many years with much enthusiasm and zeal, and people in large number used to participate in them. But when people from outside Greece began to take part, the people forgot the spirit of the amateur and turned professionals. These people then made the victory in the games their sole motive.One of the reasons of the decline of these games was the Roman victory over Greece. The decline started because the Romans were not very enthusiastic about these games.

Many evils cropped, up in the games. People began to bribe the judges in order to win. Then some such events came to be included in the Olympics as caused the death of one or the other player everyday. In game like boxing players began to hold iron pieces in their hands which would prove very injurious or fatal, thereby discouraging the honest people from taking part in such games.

In 394 A.D. these games were banned on the orders of the Roman Emperor Theodosius. The contribution of the Greeks in the sprots field was, thus, put to an end. The stadiums and temple where life buzzed with activity turned into ruins, and revealed the decline of the Olympic games. No doubt, everything that takes birth in the world ceases to exist one day as per the law of nature. In accordance with this law, the zeal of the Olympic games got buried under the debris of time, but people continued to have sweet memories of the old days. They continued to talk about these games.

18.

What do you know about the awards of the Ancient Olympic Games ?

Answer»

Awards. Till the 6th Olympic games the winners were given cattle and corn in the form of awards, but this practice came to an end. Then the winners used to be honoured with garlands or crown made of the leaves and branches of olive tree. The players were highly honoured and rewarded, and they used to enjoy high status in society. The award distribution ceremony used to be very impressive. The names of the winners were noted down in the calender, and poems in their praises were composed. The sculptors would make their statues. Gates were erected to honour the winners. Friends used to give them gifts. The Greeks used to honour them in all ways, and look upon these games as a matter of pride and glory.

We can realize the importance of these games from one incident. Once a player, who has earlier won some game, came alongwith his two sons to see them honoured for having won two races in a single day. When the awards were being given, people were so happy and excited that they said that the father had got so much happiness in his life because of his sons that he could not expect more happiness in life, and, it would be better if he simply ceased to be. This incident reveals the people’s extreme love for Olympic games, and their importance in one’s life. During those days people did not participate in these games in expectation of any material or economic reward. They participated in these games for the love of games. They had no temptation.

Answer»

Wordsworth defines poetry as the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings which are originated from the emotions recollected in tranquility. In this poem Wordsworth wants to immortalise beauty which he has seen, the music which he has heard through a beautiful creation. He bored the music in his heart. When he could not hear it after a long time in spite of leaving that place, he continued to sing it up to a long time.

वर्ड्सवर्थ ने कविता की परिभाषा शक्तिशाली भावनाओं का स्वतः ही उद्वेगपूर्ण प्रवाह बताया, जिसका जन्म शान्तिपूर्ण वातावरण में भावनाओं का स्मरण करने से होता है। इस कविता के माध्यम से वर्ड्सवर्थ उस सुन्दरता को जो उन्होंने देखी और जो संगीत उन्होंने सुना, उनको एक सुन्दर रचना के माध्यम से अमरत्व प्रदान करना चाहते हैं। उसने संगीत को अपने हृदय में संजोकर रखा। बहुत समय के बाद तक भी जब वह उसको सुन नहीं सकता था और वह उस स्थान को छोड़कर जाने के बावजूद भी वह बहुत देर बाद तक भी उस गीत को गुनगुनाता रहा।
