Answer:
Explanation:
Just as modern sports, ancient sports had rules. For a rider for example it was forbidden to turn in the hippodrome before the turning pole, for a runner to take a false start, for a pankratiast to gouge his opponent, ... In the Olympic oath the athletes swore not to cheat.
Nevertheless offences were sometimes inevitable committed in the thick of the fight. That is why all contests were supervised by umpires. Offenders were punished corporally with a beating of a stick or a whip. This was a heavy punishment, not only physically, but also psychologically. Outsite the context of games, corporal punishments to free men were not allowed. They were only used in the education of children and in particular for slaves. The punishments at the games probably had a religious significance: the athletes had sworn to Zeus to compete honestly and, if they cheated, they insulted the god by their behaviour.
Answer:
“… It is custom for athletes, their fathers, and their brothers as well their trainers to swear on an oath upon slices of boar’s flesh that is nothing will they sin against the Olympic Games. The athletes take this further oath also, that for ten successive months they have strictly followed the regulations for training. An oath is also taken by those who examine the boys or the fouls everything entering for races, that they will decide fairly and without taking bribes, and that they will keep secret what they learn about a candidate; whether accepted or not.”
The Ancient Olympics had lots of rules and regulations such as...
. Women were not allowed to compete.
. Married women were not allowed to watch because the men would be nude and the women
would be held in dis-grace.
. Only free men (not slaves), that could speak Greek were allowed to compete.
Once you enter you cannot leave the Olympics.
No one can start earlier and other competitors; if they do they would get beaten or disqualified.
In general, if people disobeyed the Olympic rules then they would have to pay a fine and the money would help build statues of Zeus or they’d get whipped.
If married women were found watching the Olympics, they would be thrown off Mountain Typaion, Pausanias record.
Wrestlers were not allowed to use oil because it would protect their skin from dirt and sunlight. For example, if someone grabbed an opponent’s arm with oil on it, it would be hard for the wrestler to hold on, therefore it is an advantage to the opponent and harder for the wrestler to grab on.
