[THREADLY FUN HORSE FACTS #20]

Chariot races were popular athletic events in ancient Greece, originating as part of the ceremonies in early funeral games. The racing of four-horse chariots became an event at the Olympic Games beginning in 680 B.C.E. Horse racing with riders, not chariots, was introduced somewhat later.

The races took place on courses called hippodromes (from the Greek words "hippos," meaning horse, and "dromos," meaning course), dangerous tracks with hairpin turns at either end. As is the case in horse racing today, the prizes and acclaim were given to the owners of the horse teams, not to the driver of the chariot or the horse's jockey.

This loophole was the only means by which the Spartan princess Kyniska, as the owner of a team of horses, could be listed as a winner of an Olympic event, honors most typically accorded to men.
