The Pythian Games were one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, a forerunner of the modern Olympic Games, held every four years at the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi. FYI, the other 3 Panhellic Games were the Olympic Games, Nemean Games and the Isthmian Games. |

I don't know about the Pythian, but Panhellenic means "across the Hellenes". If you listen closely to the Athens 2004 ceremonies, you will hear the person in charge announced as "... of the Hellenic Republic", this is because what we know today as Greece used to be known as Hellas (in fact that it still used as the Greek translation for Greece) and during this period of the Olympics, only people of Hellenic blood (i.e born to Greeks and born in modern day Greece) were allowed to compete |
