The ancient Olympic Games were not held on the third night; they were traditionally celebrated during the day. The events took place every four years in Olympia, primarily in July and August, coinciding with the full moon to ensure optimal visibility and favorable weather. The games began with religious ceremonies and sacrifices to Zeus, followed by athletic competitions. If you're referring to specific nighttime events, those were not a characteristic feature of the ancient Olympics.
