Women did not participate in the Ancient Olympics. Only Greek speaking men were allowed to participate.
Exception: in the chariot-race the owner of the horses was considered to be the competitor, and got the prize if they won. Women could put their horses in for the chariot race, and were considered competitors when they did.
The Greeks.
To be frank, they had nothing to do with the Olympics, which were created by the Greeks.
Originally the reason the Greeks founded the Olympics was to have a "family reunion". At the time, Ancient Greeks were scattered from Spain to North Africa, and from Ionia to Italy. This was a way to unite themselves every 4 years. Eventually it turned into a "which colony is the best" competition, and the model that we have today.
Well, the Greeks loved competitions. So they made up a game called the Olympics, which modernized to the sports we have today. The Olympics were not the only competition in Ancient Greece, but the most popular.
