Pherenikos is celebrated in epinikions, what are they?
Epinikion The epinikion or epinicion (plural "epinikia" or "epinicia", Greek ἐπινίκιον , from "epi-", "on," + "nikê", "victory") is a genre of occasional poetry also known in English as a victory ode. In ancient Greece, the "epinikion" most often took the form of a choral lyric, commissioned for and performed at the celebration of an athletic victory in the Panhellenic Games and sometimes in honor of a victory in war. Major poets in the genre are Simonides, Bacchylides, and Pindar.
Ancient Olympic Games The Olympic Games was originally meant as a festival, or celebration of/for Zeus; later, events such as a footrace, a javelin contest, and wrestling matches were added. The Olympic Games (Ancient Greek: Ὀλύμπια "Olympia" "the Olympics" also Ancient Greek: Ὀλυμπιάς "Olympias" "the Olympiad") were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of city-states and one of the Panhellenic Games of ancient Greece. They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythological origin. The first Olympics is traditionally dated to 776 BC. They continued to be celebrated when Greece came under Roman rule, until the emperor Theodosius I suppressed them in 393 AD as part of the campaign to impose Christianity as the State religion of Rome. The games were held every four years, or "olympiad", which became a unit of time in historical chronologies.
