Last held in Roman times, the Pythian Games are back. Could Australia host next?

from SBS Hindi

Proudly reviving an ancient tradition that once stood alongside the Olympic Games, the Modern Pythian Games bring back a unique blend of sport and culture from Greece’s Panhellenic heritage. In ancient times, these Games featured music, dance, poetry, painting, wrestling and athletics. Today, the modern version brings sport, art and culture together through traditional and creative competitions. With discussions underway about a possible future event in Melbourne, this podcast features founder Bijender Goel, who shares the vision behind this revival and its role in global cultural exchange.
