  • Three-card Monte (also known as Find the Lady or the Three-card Trick) is a confidence game in which the victim, or mark, is tricked into betting a sum of money, on the assumption that they can find the ball underneath one of the cups. In its full form, Three-card Monte is an example of a classic "short con" in which a shill pretends to conspire with the mark to cheat the dealer, while in fact conspiring with the dealer to cheat the mark. This confidence trick was already in use by the turn of the 15th century.

  • Two ladies are shopping in a tourist trinket store in the Plaka shopping centre, the largest official Olympic merchandising outlet in downtown Athens. The 29th modern Olympic circus is gearing up for business and official and unofficial souvenirs are on sale here, including postcards and table mats with various works of art available on a rack. We see the Parthenon on the Acropolis Hill, Michelangelo's 'Hands of God and Adam' image from the Sistine Chapel. 'Last Supper' by Leonardo da Vinci and a landscape from ancient Olympia, the birthplace of modern athletics and of the Olympic ideal. The Olympics came home to Greece in 2004 amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. Corruption, politics, cheating and commercialism interfered with the ancient and modern games.

  • The last moments of street lighting illuminates the pavement and road as dawn breaks over the shoreline on the untidy and empty seafront in Nea Makri, a coastal town near Athens on the Marathon road. This town is the original route that the Athenian messenger Pheidippides ran in 490BC to deliver news of the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of (Marathonas) Marathon. Nowadays, this is a rather unattractive town with few echoes of Greece's ancient glories although the 29th modern Olympic circus came home in 2004. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

  • Before finalists take part in their last exercises at a gymkhana pony competition, these rosettes prizes seen here in close-up detail wait to be claimed by young winners and losers. From the top we see prizes for Reserve Champions then those for 1st prize, then second, third and runners-up at the very bottom. Such accolades are won and lost by fractions of a second but their importance is remembered for years afterwards as young girls desperately practice to improve their equestrian skills. A huge commitment is needed by the girls and their parents who spend great deals of money and time for these treasured prizes which can be won or lost by fractions of seconds or single points. Those that fail to win go home feeling empty-handed or perhaps cheated out of victory and glory. Those who win hang them on bedroom walls for years to come.

Running 240 km (150 miles) in two days to request help when the Persians landed, he then ran the 40 km (26 miles) from the battlefield Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon with the words 'We have won'. The story inspired the marathon and at the birthplace of modern sports at ancient Olympia, where for 1,000 continuous years, the ancient pagan festival of sport and debauchery were held.
