The ancient Olympics differed from the modern Games in several key ways. Only free Greek men could compete, and the Games were always held in Olympia rather than moving to different locations. While athletes competed to bring glory to their hometowns, the ancient Olympics were also part of a major religious festival honoring Zeus. The Olympics grew over time from a one-day event to five days and only included a few events like running, long jump, and wrestling. Women could not compete but could own winning chariot teams. The Olympics were one of the major events that helped educate Greek citizens and bring prestige to victors' cities.VERBERO | THE TEAM BEHIND YOUR TEAM favirt
