Women were forbidden to attend the first Olympic Games in ancient Greece, which began in 776 BC. This exclusion was rooted in the belief that the games were a male-only event, celebrating athletic prowess and physical excellence. In some regions, women faced severe penalties, including death, if they were found to have attended the games. However, there were exceptions; for instance, unmarried women could attend the games held in honor of the goddess Hera.
