Cronus Wrestles with Zeus

The myth about Cronus wrestling with Zeus is really a description of the very first Olympic Games. On Mount Olympus, Cronus, Titan of time and father of Zeus, wrestled with Zeus, king of the gods, for the throne. Hermes was outrun by Apollo, and Apollo beat Ares at boxing. Another thing known is that, at the very first Olympic Games, the Kouretes, teachers of Zeus, raced there. It is not known whether they won or not.
