Special emphasis is placed upon the origins of the Olympic Games: to Zeus, his worship and its role in the organization of the contests and the preparation of athletes; to the events themselves; to the victors; and to the participation of women in athletics.<\/p>\n<p>A satisfactory answer may never be found to the question of why women were forbidden to participate in the Olympic Games in antiquity, except as horse owners. Nevertheless, Cyniska, daughter of the Spartan king Archidamus and the first woman to raise horses in order to compete in the games, will forever inspire us by winning the tethrippon race.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section PracticalText  \">\n\t<div class=\"groupsInfo\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"groupInfoItem\" id=\"Directions\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"infoMap\">\n\t\t<div id=\"map\" class=\"mapcell\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t<div class=\"left\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t<span>\n\n<svg class=\"SvgIcon   SvgIcon--custom \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" shape-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"   style=\"--svg-height: 24px;
