Abstract

This paper discusses the participation of women in Greek Games, especially the Olympic Games. By analyzing the participation of women in these events, the paper exposes the arguments which determined the limitation, and even the prohibition imposed on this group on taking part of masculine activities in Greek civilization. As to contextualize these arguments, this research also accounts for the main characteristics of each stage of Greek education – the Spartan one, in which women were given more opportunity to practice sports, and the Athenian one, when female educat ion was rest r icted to fami ly and housekeeping, with no attention paid to the athletic condition of these mothers as to fulfill their duties at home or even give birth to healthy descendants.
