Ancient Greece, God Zeus, Olympic Games, WrestlingResumen
Ancient Greek society organized sports events to honor leaders and heroes. With the development of the belief structure, local events became more comprehensive. There were mythological gods in ancient Greek society that were connected to the belief system. However, festivals were organized only in honor of the great gods. As in civilizations throughout human history, ceremonies and festivals were organized in ancient Greek civilization to honor gods. The most important of the ceremonies organized for Zeus, one of the important gods of ancient Greek society, were the Olympic Games. Although the sports category was few when sports competitions in ancient Greek society began to be organized, new games were added in later periods. The most important of these games were wrestling competitions. Citizens who participated in the Olympic Games made superhuman efforts to honor God Zeus. As the popularity of the Olympic Games, which were initially held locally, increased, people came to compete, especially in wrestling. This study aims to explain the wrestling competitions in the Olympic Games organized in the name of God Zeus in the Ancient Greek and Hellenistic periods and to provide information about the wrestlers who managed to become champions in these competitions.
