The Gorm

The Gorm says: Originally in Greek the Olympic Anthem is called Cantata by Costis Palamas Immortal spirit of antiquity, Father of the true, beautiful and good, Descend, appear, shed over us thy light Upon this ground and under this sky Which has first witnessed thy unperishable fame Give life and animation to those noble games! Throw wreaths of fadeless flowers to the victors In the race and in the strife! Create in our breasts, hearts of steel! In thy light, plains, mountains and seas See the Olympic Museum website Shine in a roseate hue and form a vast temple To which all nations throng to adore thee, Oh immportal spirit of antiquity!
