Task 2:

The Olympic Anthem Symbolism is one of the strong components expressed within the Olympic Games. The Greeks appreciated and honoured poets and their descriptive language as part of the Olympic spirit. The "Olympic Hymn" of the modern era was written by Greeks Costis Palamis and Spiros Samaras. It was translated into French, and was used at the first Modern Olmpic Games held in Athens in 1896. Since 1960, it has been used at the Opening Ceremonies of each Olympic Games. The hymn is played or sung during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Originally written in Greek, it has been "freely" translated into other languages and below is the main version. Your task is to write a new Olympic anthem for the 2012 Olympic Games

The Original Lyrics:

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 strife!

Create in our breasts, hearts of steel!
