The Heraea games were held during ancient Greek times. They were held for women who were not allowed to watch or participate in the regular Olympic Games. They played all the same events the men did except in a shorter version. The games were called the Heraea games because the were held in honor of the Greek goddess Hera. Hence the name. The games mainly consisted of foot races.
