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.
