Hidden Women of History: Kyniska of Sparta, the First Female Olympian.
Kyniska, a Spartan princess went down in history after becoming the first woman to win the in ancient times.
Kyniska (or Cyniska), a Spartan princess, was the daughter of King Archidamus II and sister to King Agesilaus.
She owned a sizable estate where she bred, raised and trained horses, and in 396 BC, when she was probably between 40 and 50 years old, she became the first woman to participate in the .
Spartan culture believed stronger children come from parents who were both strong, an unusual concept in Ancient Greek society as a whole. Spartan authorities encouraged women to train both mind and body.
Unlike Athens and the other Greek city-states where girls were hidden from the public and learned only domestic skills, Sparta held races and trials of strength for girls as well as boys.
Kyniska’s childhood would have been full of athletic training: running, jumping, throwing the discus and javelin, perhaps even wrestling.
Spartan girls married later, allowing more years for education. Aristocratic girls such as Kyniska learned poetry and also trained to dance and sing competitively, so she may have even been literate.
Kyniska of Sparta had wealth and status – but it was her ambition that made her a legend.
This ambition drove her to compete in the four-horse chariot race, or tethrippon, at the Olympics in 396 and 392 BC.
Her chariot team won both times.
No women allowed
This feat was especially impressive because women could not even step foot on the sacred grounds of the Olympic Sanctuary during the festival. Married women were forbidden on penalty of death from even attending as spectators.
To compete, Kyniska cleverly exploited loopholes.
In sports like wrestling or javelin, the victors competed individually on the field. In the chariot race, the winners were the horse owners, not the drivers – who were almost always slaves. Much like with the modern Kentucky Derby or Melbourne Cup, the victors are the horse and its owner, not the rider.
Kyniska didn’t have to drive the chariot to win.
In fact, chariot team owners did not even have to be physically present at Olympia during the games. Kyniska could enter her chariot team in the race without ever setting foot on the forbidden sacred grounds.
But Kyniska’s role was not secret. News of an Olympic victory was carried by fleet messengers to the victor’s home city, where preparations to celebrate their return were begun at once. News that a woman had won an Olympic contest would have spread quickly.
What motivated a Spartan royal to break through the difficult glass ceiling of male-dominated Olympic competition and culture? The scant sources we have offer different opinions.
The Greek writer Pausanias said Kyniska had personal ambitions to win at Olympia, but Xenephon and the philosopher Plutarch credit her brother, King Agesilaus, for pressuring her to compete.
The answer may involve a bit of both.
my fathers and brothers. I, Kyniska, victorious at the chariot race with her swift-footed horses, erected this statue. I claim that I am the only woman in all Greece who won this crown.”
Kyniska clearly relished her fame. Agesilaus may have been the catalyst, but Kyniska herself probably decided to compete – at least the second time.
Other women would go on to compete in the chariot races, and by the 1st century AD women were competing directly against men in foot racing events – and winning.
The fact Kyniska didn’t physically compete has caused history to discount her achievements, but this argument marginalizes her larger accomplishment. Amid enormous cultural barriers, Kyniska broke gender norms and glass ceilings.
By boldly and proudly celebrating her trailblazing victories with commemorative statues, she transmitted this message to women across the Greek world.
Fueled by Spartan pride, Kyniska’s accomplishment to be the first woman to compete, and win, in the male-only Olympics is a startling and memorable achievement that deserves a prominent place in Olympic lore.

Mykonos & Delos holidays
The bare rocky island of Mykonos - Μύκονος was once one of the most important trading centres in the western Aegean.
Its arid and only moderately fertile soil permits merely a modest development of agriculture, but its beautiful beaches have made it one of the most desired holiday islands in the Aegean, attracting artists, LGBT+ and more recently the indulgent jet set / nouveau rich.
Likewise, the new “marina” port is growing in popularity and is actually becoming a small charter base from which you can hire charter yachts to start your sailing holiday. Moreover, it has a flourishing craft industry and Mykonos is the starting point from which to visit the neighbouring island of Delos, the historical centre of the Cyclades.
History of Mykonos
According to legend Mykonos was the rock with which Poseidon slew the giants.
The island's history was closely bound up with that of Tinos. Unlike Tinos, however, it was occupied by the Turks, though it contrived to maintain a considerable degree of independence under Turkish rule.
The chief place on the island is Mykonos or Chora, cube-shaped whitewashed houses with numerous churches and the eminent windmills, extending in a semicircle round a bay on the west coast. It occupies the site of the ancient city of the same name.
The local museum features archaeological material from Rineia and Delos. The most interesting of the churches is the Paraportiani Church, which is built on four levels.
East of Mykonos lies the rocky island of Tragonisi or Dragonisi, with sea-caves frequented by seals.
The mascotte of Myconos town for more than 30 years was a tame pelican named Pétros. After his universally lamented death in December 1985 he was stuffed and can now be seen in the museum.
Rineia island
The rocky island of Rineia - Ρήνεια lies between Mykonos and Delos and is also known as Megali Dilos, the ancient Reneia. After the second purification it became the burial-place for Delos.
Delos island
Dilos or Delos - Δήλος likewise is a rocky island and lies 5 NM south-west of Mykonos and it is one of the smallest of the Cyclades.
According to the ancient myth Delos was the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. The destinies of the island turned on its importance as a pan-Hellenic shrine.
The extensive area of remains excavated under the direction of French archaeologists from 1873 onwards is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece.
The earliest settlers on Delos, in the 3rd millennium BCE, were Phoenicians and Carians.
After their displacement by Ionians in the 1st millennium BCE the island became the main centre of the cult of Apollo, and splendid games – said to have been originally established by Theseus – were held annually in honour of the god.
In the 6th c. BCE Peisistratos carried out a purification (catharsis) of the island by removing all tombs from the area round the sanctuary, and in a second purification in 426 – 425 BCE all births, deaths and burials on the island were prohibited and the existing tombs were removed to the neighbouring island of Rineia or Rhenea.
When the Panionic League was founded after the Persian Wars, the Temple of Apollo was selected as the treasury of the League.
In 454 BCE, however, Athens carried off the contents of the treasury and reduced Delos and the other islands to a condition of dependence. In 314 BCE Delos asserted its independence of Athens and thereafter developed a prosperous trade which made it the economic centre of the archipelago.
Foreign trading guilds including the Hermaists (Roman) and the Poseidoniasts (Syrians from Berytos, present-day Beirut) established themselves on the island.
In 166 BCE the Romans gained control of Delos, and thereafter assigned it to Athens. This brought a revival of the island's prosperity, particularly after the destruction of Corinth.
The end came with the devastation of Delos by Mithridates in 88 BCE, followed by its complete destruction by pirates in 69 BCE. Thereafter the island was almost uninhabited, and when Pausanias visited it in the 2nd c. he saw only the custodians of the deserted sanctuary.
A fresh settlement was established in Christian times, but this was only a brief life.

Rhodes - Ρόδος, the biggest of the Dodecanese and the fourth biggest Greek island (after Crete, Euboea and Le**os), is a most loved port when visiting the south east of Greece and an awesome beginning stage – similar as Kos – for a cruising occasion in the Aegean ocean.
The island is generally ellipsoid or precious stone molded and an uneven reach runs from north to south with the most elevated pinnacle Mt Ataviros (1205 m), arranged in the west coast.
In contrast to a large number of different islands around here, Rhodes is ripe in the valleys as well as on the higher inclines: pine, orange, olive, lemon, fig and pear trees flourish in these conditions.
In like manner the towns are rich and vivid with hibiscus, jasmine and bougainvillea, which clarifies the numerous butterflies.
Furthermore, to be sure, Rhodes is regularly called the butterfly island.
History of Rhodes
Rhodes was first possessed in the Neolithic period. A significant achievement in the island's set of experiences, which influenced the destiny of the other Dodecanese too, was the establishing in 700 BCE of the Dorian Hexapolis, an association of its three urban communities with Knidos, Halikarnassos and Kos.
Its economy and culture kept on thriving until the third century BCE, when it was the transcendent force in the Aegean.
At the point when, after 1,000 years in 1309, it fell under the control of the Knights of St John, it turned out to be again the focal point of force, represented by its eminent middle age town and the impressive palace and castle of the Grand Masters.
Rhodes Town:
The capital, additionally called Rhodes, involves the northernmost tip of the island. There are really three urban communities on this site - present day, old and archaic.
The advanced town has a cosmopolitan character, numerous late twentieth century structures and lodgings.
The antiquated town, which was established in 408 BC as indicated by plans by Hippodamos of Milesios (the primary town organizer), began from Monte Smith slope - Ágios Stéfanos where the acropolis stood and reached out the extent that what is currently the archaic city.
On the acropolis the vestiges of the sanctuary of Apollo, the arena, exercise room and odeon have been reestablished.
The middle age city is as yet encircled by the high dividers raised by the Knights. It is partitioned by an internal divider into two inconsistent parts, the more modest Collachio and the bigger Burgo or Hora. Collachio is additionally parted by the Street of the Knights, both of whose sides are fixed with the serious stone veneers of the Inns of the Tongues or identities that had a place with the request for the Knights of St John.
Moving toward Rhodes by yacht one gets a first look at the enormous Old Town dividers along with the smooth minarets and the arcaded waterfront markets with their fascinating aromas.
The best spot to secure your yacht is the Mandraki harbor, which includes a pinnacle with a bronse deer on top on one or the other side of its passage.
Lindos
Lindos - Λίνδος is drastically arranged on a promotory high over the ocean, and is Rhodes' subsequent town, with an all year populace of 800. With its cubed houses folded over the strengthened acropolis, it has kept its respectability simply because the entire town is named an archeological site, one of a kind in Greece.
Chalki island
With its Neoclassical pastel houses disregarding a horseshoe harbor, Chalki or Halki town - Χάλκη is a smaller than expected variant of Symi. The island is bone-dry and rough, and water may run short in summer. Chalki is well known for keeping its old music customs alive. The travel industry is still limited scale; fishing and goat-grouping gives the greater part of the pay.
