No, the ancient Greek games were not held in a colosseum. Instead, they took place in open-air stadiums, with the most famous being the Olympic Games held in Olympia. These venues were designed specifically for athletic competitions and featured tracks for running, as well as areas for other events like Wrestling and discus throwing. The Roman Colosseum, on the other hand, was built later and primarily used for gladiatorial contests and other public spectacles.
