According to David Gilman Romano , a professor of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, the modern Olympic flag has no ancient bases.

One of his interests is the ancient Olympic games as well as being the Senior Research Scientist of the Mediterranean Section the University of PENN Museum of Anthropology & Archeology.

I say go ahead and email him he accepts questions on the
ancient Olympic games. Also click on the links Dartmouth has The Ancient Olympic Games Virtual Museum they also take Q&A'S. www.museum.upenn.edu/new/olympics/olympicfaqs.shtml.

About the Olympic Flag- Barron Pierre de Coubertin designed the Olympic Flag in 1913. The flag was made in Paris,FRANCE where it was accepted by the Olympic Congress 1914. NO mention of a Olympic flag being flown until the 1920, Antwerp Games. Again I found nothing about a flag being made in Greece or flown during the ancient games.
