Elizabeth Gebhard, director of the excavations on the Isthmia, describes the rites of Melikertes-Palaimon at the site of the Isthmian games. A long period of intense training was mandatory for anyone who planned to participate in the Isthmian games held every two years at Corinth. The events comprised the Pythian Games, held every four years at Delphi in honour of the god Apollo; the Isthmian Games, held every two years in Corinth in honour of Poseidon; the Nemean Games, also held every two years, in Nemea in honour of Zeus; and the most important, the Olympic Games, held every four years in Elis, also in honour of Zeus. |
