During the ancient Games of Hera, which were held in Olympia, women wore simple, unadorned garments called peplos. These dresses were typically made of wool and were fastened at the shoulders, leaving the arms bare. The peplos was designed for practicality and freedom of movement, allowing female athletes to participate in the competitions, which included foot races. In contrast to the men's games, the women's attire emphasized modesty while still enabling athletic performance.
