Ancient Olympics

The Olympic Games.

I dude who violated the olympics? :3

If your referring to the Ancient Olympics then it was the Pankration. It was a blend of wrestling and boxing. Rules outlawed only biting and gouging an opponent's eyes, nose, or mouth with fingernails. Attacks such as kicking an opponent in the belly, which are against the rules in modern sports, were perfectly legal.

They could attend the plays, but they couldn't perform in them

women were discriminated by not being able to watch or participate. But the only event the women were able to participate was in the chariot races, only if they owned the horses.

Men had to be fit and often had to go to war.

the footrace, the long jump, Wrestling, boxing, and pancratium (a combination of the two)

The Ancient Olympics began as a one day event, but expanded to three days to accommodate each sport. Sports at the Ancient Olympics included running, long jump, shot put, javelin, boxing, pankration and equestrian.

it was for 2 days.

The roman emperor in 394 was Theodosius I who banned and persecuted anything which was not Christian. The Olympics, long with all pagan temples were either banned or destroyed and the pagans persecuted.

The Ancient Olympic Games were held every four years, a tradition that continues in the modern era.

There are many different sports that compete at the Olympics. Such sports are basketball, soccer, volleyball, field and track and swimming.

It varied depending on who was participating and where it was being held.

For the most part gauges weren't allowed, this could include eye and throat to prevent maiming. Other then that there were few other rules. It was an all out fight intended to be used in combat to kill one's opponent. The Spartans were often banned from competition as they were trained in the fighting techniques since they were young.

Because the Roman ruler Theodosius thought it was not right to hold games in honor of Zeus (a Greek god) when they believed in christianity. He believed they were honoring a false god.

Olympic Games are held every two years. In 2008, the Summer Games will be held in Beijing. In 2010, the Winter Games will be held in Vancouver. In 2012, the Summer Games will be held in London. In 2014, the Winter Games will be held in Russia.

I think its 5 days. Not sure

Yeah I think its 5 days too. Not sure

But I think they lasted 4 days, but I'm not sure.

you have to be exactly sure of what you put on here what if someones doing a report they could fail because you told them wrong.

I just wanted to say that I AM writing a report and I have no idea whether it's 4 or 5 days. So, you should really be more clear.

How about 4 days of games. Medals, and closing ceremonies on the 5th day

After Adam and Eve ate the fruit that God told them not to eat, their eyes were opened and they became self-concious of their bodies, so they fashioned the first clothing out of fig leaves to cover themselves. Then, they were banished from the garden.

As women were not allowed to compete, or even watch the games as they were a male religious celebration (women had their own religious ceremonies) she hired male drivers.

The Olympic Games were Greek, held in the territory of Elis in the Peloponnesian Peninsula.

No, there were celebrations to the god Zeus in whose honour they were held.

It was the Greek god, Hercules himself who started the Olympic Games. It's rather doubtful that anyone since has been stronger that he.

Although Macedonia was larger in Ancient times than it is now, Athens has never been within its borders. At the time, the part of Greece Athens is in was called Hellas.

Only men were able to compete in the Ancient Olympics. Women were forbid to enter the Ancient Olympics, or, Olympia, as it was called back then.
