Ancient Greek Olympics Made by Rhianna 5/6 MS

The first Olympic game was played over 2700 years ago in Olympia (in southwest Greece). Part of a religious festival, the first Olympic games were thought to be played 776 BC. Being held for Zeus, the old Olympics inspired the modern day Olympics. People (from all over the Greek world) went to watch and take part in the Olympics.

Ancient Greek Olympic Events There are many events in the Ancient Greek Olympics. Some of them are chariot racing, javelin, running, jumping and pankration. There are many more games like pentathlon, discus throw, boxing and wrestling.

Were women allowed to compete? Married women were not allowed to attend the Olympics and women weren’t allowed to compete in any of the events. There was a separate women’s festival that was called Heraia and was dedicated to the honour of Hera, the wife of Zeus.

Random information the games were just short foot races designed to keep Greek men fit for the intensity of war. The path for the foot races was about 700 feet long and straight. It was also wide enough for twenty men to run side by side. Only men who spoke Greek were allowed to take part in the races. Men ran the races without any clothes on. There was only one winner and he was given a wreath of olive leaves as a prize but these weren’t just any olive leaves. These olive leaves were taken from a sacred tree that was located at Olympia behind the temple dedicated to Zeus. To reward his mastery of the events, a statue was built in the winner’s honour.
