The ancient Greeks did many things for their own entertainment. At home, symposid were dinner party meetings held for a man's enjoyment. They played handmade/weaved instruments. Example; the 'Lyre', a stringed instrument origanilly made of a tortise shell, consisting with anywhere between 3 and 12 strings, played with a plectrum (pick). Panpipes, flutes, and drums were also used.
Inside, the Greeks would also play Board Games and/or cards. Achilles and Ajax created a game named 'Ephisdremos', where a stone is thrown at by balls or small pebbles. The one who fails to flip the stone carries the other (while blind folded) until he reaches the stone, if not wandering astray.
The Greeks were very active and participated in many sports events, thus came the Olympics. In the olympics; boxing, Weightlifting, penthalon, throwing, wresting, running, long jumping, etc. They also participated in Chariot Racing often.
Festivals were held - mainly for the use of holidays or to honor a god - and the celebrations mainly consisted of dancing and drinking.
Other entertainment; Greek theater and play contests.
