Content: There are lots more mini-games and puzzles about life in Ancient Greece. Only you can find Argo! How did the Greeks change sport? The Greeks loved sport as much as we do. They enjoyed the discus, javelin, long jump, boxing and horse racing. Athletes prayed to Nike, the goddess of victory - she’s still a big name in sport today! Greek men and boys trained in a gymnasium. We also go to the gym, although today women and girls are welcome too. The Greeks loved to watch races in a big, open-air ‘stadion’, very like a modern sports stadium. Every four years the Greeks held a special sporting festival at Olympia - the Olympic Games.
