The '''Pythian Games''' were one of the four [[Panhellenic Games]] of [[Ancient Greece]], a forerunner of the modern [[Olympic Games]], held every four years at the sanctuary of [[Apollo]] at [[Delphi]].

They were held in honour of [[Apollo]] two years after (and two years before) each Olympic Games, and between each [[Nemean Games|Nemean]] and [[Isthmian Games]]. They were founded sometime in the [[6th century BC]], and, unlike the Olympic Games, also featured competitions for music and poetry. The music and poetry competitions pre-dated the athletic portion of the games, and were said to have been started by Apollo after he killed [[Python]] and set up the oracle at Delphi. Otherwise, the athletic events were the same as the Olympic Games. A four-horse chariot race was held in a hippodrome in the plain, not far from the sea, in the place where the original stadium was. (ref: [[Pindar]])

The winners received a wreath of bay laurels from the city of [[Tempe]] in [[Thessaly]].
