Herod Institutes Greco-Roman Games in Judea
Clearly a passion of Herod, he also instituted the Greco-Roman Games in Judea, a competitive sports festival intended to rival the Olympics.
Josephus, Antiquites 15.8.1
“...he (Herod) appointed solemn games to be celebrated every fifth year, in honour of Caesar; and built a theatre at Jerusalem: as also a very great amphitheatre in the plain (Caesarea).
