One of the most famous ancient sports in Greece was the Olympic Games, which began in 776 BC and were held every four years in Olympia. These games were dedicated to Zeus, the king of the gods, and included a variety of athletic events such as running, wrestling, boxing, and chariot racing. The Olympic Games were a time for Greek athletes to showcase their physical prowess and compete for glory and honor. In addition to the Olympic Games, the Greeks also participated in other sporting events such as the Panhellenic Games, which were held in different cities across Greece. These games included the Nemean, Isthmian, and Pythian Games, each dedicated to a different god or goddess.
