An end to the controversy!



Apparently the Ancient Greeks were just as sexist as Jeremy! According to our tour guide Demetrius, not only were women not allowed to compete in the games, but they weren't even allowed to watch! One woman tried to defy that prejudice in order to watch her son compete. She dressed as a man and posed as his coach to gain entry. Unfortunately, upon his victory, she was so excited that she dropped her dress to reveal her true gender. From that day forward, the coaches were required to be just as naked as the athletes. Ciao, A & J
