1976 SUMMER OLYMPICS -

MONTRAL Amik was the mascot of the 1976 Summer Olympics. Amik

was a beaver. In theAnishinaabe language, amikmeans

"beaver." The beaver was chosen as mascot, because it

represents hard work and it is also an animal native to Canada,

the country where the games were held. The next Olympic

mascot, at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, was

'Mishka' - a brown bear. Mishka - or Misha as the bear was

also named - is a diminutive for Russian name Mikhail

(Michael).

2004 SUMMER OLYMPICS -ATHENS

"Athena" and "Phevos" were the Olympic mascots of the 2004Summer Olympics, held inAthens. The pair are one of the fewexamples of anthropomorphic mascots in the history of theOlympics. According to the official mascot webpage, their creationwas inspired by an ancient Greek doll and their names are linked to

ancient Greece, yet the two siblings are children of modern times -Phevos and Athena represent the link between Greek history andthe modern Olympic Games.

The mascots were named after the Greek gods (Athena) and(Apollo). Phevosis a transcription of the modern Greekpronunciation ofPhoebus, an epithet ofApollo. They were loosely

modeled after an archaic Greek terra cottadaidalafrom the 7thcentury BC (below left), which was recommended by curators at theNational Archaeological Museum. The Athens 2004 OlympicOrganizing Committee claimed that the mascots represented"participation, brotherhood, equality, cooperation, fair play [and] theeverlasting Greek value of human scale."
