They used to be called the <b>Olympic Games</b> (<a href="/wiki/Greek_language" title="Greek language">Greek</a>: <span lang="el">Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες</span>; <i>Olympiakoi Agones</i>) until the modern day <a href="/wiki/Olympic_Games" title="Olympic Games">Olympic Games</a> started. The Ancient Olympic Games began in 776 <a href="/wiki/BC" class="mw-redirect" title="BC">BC</a> in <a href="/wiki/Olympia,_Greece" class="mw-redirect" title="Olympia, Greece">Olympia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Greece" title="Greece">Greece</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Encarta-Ancient_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Encarta-Ancient-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Prizes at the games were <a href="/wiki/Olive_tree" title="Olive tree">olive</a> wreaths, <a href="/wiki/Arecaceae" class="mw-redirect" title="Arecaceae">palm</a> branches and <a href="/wiki/Wool" title="Wool">woollen</a> ribbons. The ancient Olympics were played in the honour of the God <a href="/wiki/Zeus" title="Zeus">Zeus</a>. </p><p>There is no agreement on when the Games officially ended, but many <a href="/wiki/Historian" title="Historian">historians</a> think it is 393 <a href="/wiki/AD" class="mw-redirect" title="AD">AD</a>, when the <a href="/wiki/Christian" title="Christian">Christian</a> <a href="/wiki/Roman_emperor" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman emperor">Roman emperor</a> <a href="/wiki/Theodosius_I" title="Theodosius I">Theodosius I</a> declared that all <a href="/wiki/Pagan" class="mw-redirect" title="Pagan">Pagan</a> religious practices should end.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another date might be 426 AD, when the next emperor <a href="/wiki/Theodosius_II" title="Theodosius II">Theodosius II</a> ordered the destruction of all Greek temples.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The stadium in Olympia got buried by <a href="/wiki/Landslide" title="Landslide">landslides</a> and other <a href="/wiki/Natural_disaster" title="Natural disaster">natural disasters</a>. After the Olympics stopped, they were not held again until the modern Olympic Games were started in 1896 in <a href="/wiki/Athens" title="Athens">Athens</a>. </p><p>Women were not allowed to compete, or even watch most events. According to <a href="/wiki/Pausanias_(geographer)" title="Pausanias (geographer)">Pausanias</a>, any woman found on the site had to be thrown off the rock of Typhaion.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This only applied to married women (<i>gunaikes</i>), the only exception was the priestess of Demeter.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Unmarried women were allowed as spectators. It seems that only one woman was ever found, Kallipateira, a widow, who disguised as the person training her son. She was found when she jumped into the air when her son won.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> She was spared the fate, but to avoid this happening again, all people competing, and the people training them had to be naked. Nevertheless, unmarried women attending as spectators was improbable. </p><p>An exception to this were the <a href="/wiki/Equestrianism" title="Equestrianism">equestrian</a> events. Women were allowed to enter horses. Those contorolling the horses or chariots still had to be male. The chariot races also saw the first woman to win an Olympic event. The winner was deemed to be the wealthy benefactor or trainer that funded the team rather than those controlling the chariot (who could only be male). This allowed for horse trainer and <a href="/wiki/Sparta" title="Sparta">Spartan</a> princess <a href="/wiki/Cynisca" title="Cynisca">Cynisca</a> to be the first female Olympic victor.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Because the winner was the benefactor, it was also possible for a particularly wealthy person to improve their odds by bringing multiple teams to the races. According to <a href="/wiki/Plutarch" title="Plutarch">Plutarch</a>, the record belongs to <a href="/wiki/Alcibiades" title="Alcibiades">Alcibiades</a>, who brought seven chariots to a single competition, winning the first, second, and either the third or fourth place at once.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 67, the Roman Emperor <a href="/wiki/Nero" title="Nero">Nero</a> competed in the chariot race at <a href="/wiki/Olympia" title="Olympia">Olympia</a>. He was thrown from his chariot and was thus unable to finish the race.
