Modern Olympic games were invented by a French guy. Inspired by, but have nothing to do with, the original ancient Greece games. They have nothing in common other than the name. I mean, the Greeks were stoked to host them since they had fought for their independence a few decades earlier. But the whole universalism and global fraternity and peace thing was made up by de Coubertin.
