I mean, it makes sense to celebrate athleticism by showing off the athletes' bodies. But yeah, a lot of the Greek myths have people either in the nude or just barely clothed. To be fair, in the Greek summer it makes sense to run around lightly clothed.

That was just to ensure a fair competition. You never know when someone is wearing performance enhancing clothing spun from golden fleece, or otherwise blessed from gods. It was the anti-doping movement of its time.

I was joking anyway. But yeah I knew about the olympics not so much celebrating nudity
