About Pythian Games

The Pythian Games, along with the Olympic Games, were part of the four Pan-Greek Games in Ancient Greece.

The Pythian Games included various competitions such as music, dancing, singing, painting, poetry, chariot racing, wrestling, and athletics, while the Olympic Games were devoted exclusively to physical sports. The Pythian Games were held every four years at Delphi in honor of the god Apollonian and flourished alongside the Olympic Games from about 582 BC until they were discontinued in 394 AD.

The Pythian Games were almost as significant as the Olympic Games. However, unlike the Olympic Games, the main part of the Pythian Games was made up of musical competitions, and along with the stadium and hippodrome, a theater was discovered during excavations at Delphi.

The main prize at Delphi, a wreath of noble laurel branches, seemed to bring the winner-Laureate closer to Apollonian.
