Athens was chosen as the host city in 1997, after surprisingly losing the bid to organize the 1996 SummerOlympics, the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic Games.
Olympic Stadium, the designated facility for the opening and closing ceremonies, was completed -- without roof -- shortly before the games opened.
Since the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France it has been the tradition to have a mascot for the games and this year the official mascots are sister and brother, Athena and Phevos, named after the goddess of wisdom, strategy and war and the god of light and music, respectively.
