Judythey could not take part because the men Greeks did not believe that women were strong enough. they thought that if women participated that it would bring very bad luck to all the Greeks. if a women entered the Olympics that they would be cursed never to win a single game for 4 years or longer. if a women tried to take part in the ancient Olympic she would be put in the dungeon for 7 years. Greek were very superstitious!
