Sorry that I haven't posted in a while I was more focused on other homework, but now I'm back. If you want me to post any other topics just tell me. Pankration was created by Thesus, the ancient mythical warrior, who used these techniques to fight of a lot of evil dudes. The techniques are a combination between wrestling and boxing. People started playing this sport in Greece in roughly 648 B.C.E. The first olympics were in 776 B.C.E. This sport was considered one of the toughest sports to play because the people are literally fighting to kill each other. The people competed in the hippodrome was an ancient Grecian stadium for horse racing and chariot racing. The only people that are allowed to compete in the Olympics were free male Greek citizens regardless of there social status. (If you want to see the social pyramid click on those words.) Married women were not allowed to compete in the olympics becaus e all people in the past were really sexist.
