On this date (April 6) in 1896 the modern Olympics resumed in Greece after a 1500-year absence. 241 athletes from 14 nations participated.
In a related story for this Fable, among the highlights was the winner of the marathon run. He was widely celebrated until everyone realized he had robbed the Greek National Bank and was actually fleeing to evade capture.
As of today, he has still not appeared to claim his award-winning medal.
