The Stadium within the Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis was a location which held many sport events of the ancient Olympic Games.
During the 428 BCE Olympics Kallipateira was caught trying to sneak into the stadium while dressed as a man. According to her, she merely wanted to see her pankratist son Peisirrhodos compete, but the law stated that it was forbidden for married women to watch the events.[1]
Despite the law the Spartan misthios Kassandra participated in the pankration matches at the stadium, representing Sparta instead of their champion Testikles. Kassandra fought Orion, Orestes,[2] and ultimately the reigning Pankration champion Dorieus, Kallipateira's brother.[3]
