Everything about The Nemean Games totally explained
The
Nemean Games were one of the four
Panhellenic Games of
Ancient Greece, and were held at
Nemea every two years.
With the
Isthmian Games, the Nemean Games were held both the year before and the year after the
Olympic Games and the
Pythian Games in the third year of the Olympiad cycle. Like the Olympic Games, they were held in honour of
Zeus. They were said to have been founded by
Heracles after he defeated the
Nemean Lion; another myth said that they originated as the funeral games of a child named
Opheltes. However, they're known to have existed only since the
6th century BC.
The winners received a wreath of wild
celery leaves from the city of
Argos.
