Source A
A description of a running race
The three of them lined up side by side, and Achilles pointed out the turning-post
...
Ajax son of Oileus soon shot ahead but godlike Odysseus stuck close behind
...
He was desperate to win,
and all the Greeks cheered him on, shouting encouragement to a man who was doing all he could
already
...
Come and speed my feet
...
The runners had the prize almost in their grasp when Ajax at full stretch slipped and fell
...
So Ajax had his mouth
and nostrils filled with cattle dung, while all-daring god-like Odysseus, having caught him up and
finished, carried off the silver bowl

Source B
The success of the famous Athenian politician Alcibiades at the ancient Olympic Games
His breeds of horses were famous around the world, and so was the number of his racing-chariots
...
And by coming first, second, and fourth (as Thucydides says, but third according to
Euripides), he won more fame than anyone could have hoped for
...
Victory is a glorious thing, but the most glorious is
to achieve what no other Greek has achieved – to come first and second and third in
the chariot racing competition, and to finish still full of energy, and, wearing a wreath
of Zeus’ olive, to provide the herald with something to celebrate

However, he does not show a great deal of camaraderie towards Ajax
– his focus is entirely on winning at all costs
Source B
This extract suggests that there are a range of motives involved in
participating in the ancient Olympics, not all of which would align with the
modern values of friendship, respect and excellence
• Alcibiades appears to be so wealthy that he can enter seven racing
chariots which had never been done before, and the source
indicates that much of his wealth comes from gifts from other cities clearly they are generous towards him in order to receive in return
his support or favour, which may mirror some of the modern
corruption around the Olympic Games (or other major world sporting
events) and is not in keeping with the nominal values of ‘friendship,
respect and excellence’
• Plutarch indicates that Alcibiades’ success is remarkable – ‘his
coming off first, second and fourth victor…
...
However it also shows the effort that was put into
promoting one’s own ‘wealth, strength of body and training’ – much
of Alcibiades’ motivation is driven by a desire to assert his own
brand and demonstrate his own power; Isocrates points out that
Alcibiades doesn’t consider entering the gymnastic contests
because of the social status of the other competitors
• C2(ii) The Zanes highlight both the desperation of some athletes to
achieve the excellent fame and success they craved and link to the
theme of respect as the way in which cheats were punished was by
making them pay for these statues to be erected

C4(i) Indicates that respect for the laws of the Games and for the gods
was fundamental to the Olympics
C4(iv) The lavish decoration of the statue of Zeus reflects a desire to
impress and respect the gods by means of artistic endeavour –
excellence is shown in the quality of the workmanship as well as the
value of the materials that Pheidias used

Access against criteria in the 12-mark essay grid
•
•
The perception of the role of women in ancient Greece is that they
lived a life of ‘oriental seclusion’ and performed the roles of
housekeeper and mother out of the public gaze
...
3(i) The idea shown in 2(iv) of entrusting property to a wife as a token of
closeness is highlighted in this source – as a husband Euphiletos
‘neither harassed her nor gave her too much freedom to do
whatever she liked, and watched over her as far as I could’ – this
gives a sense of the wife being under constant supervision
The speaker is clearly motivated by the need to plead his innocence
in the court case and is obviously very hostile to Eratosthenes
...
’
Compared to the restrictions of life in Athens, this freedom to break
away from the repressive expectations of femininity may have been
particularly valuable for many women
‘accustoming the girls no less than the youths to go naked in
processions’ This surprising statement runs counter to the traditional
view of oriental seclusion; although a modern scholar may question
the motives of the Spartans in this, at least it does indicate that girls
and boys were treated equally and not ‘ignored and oppressed’
Lycurgus encouraged girls to interact with the boys; once again his
motive was to improve the boys’ performance, but the way in which
girls ‘mocked and teased good-naturedly any youth who had
misbehaved’ indicates a degree of equality within society that may
be unexpected
On the theme of women’s sporting excellence, Source C shows the
Temple of Hera at Olympia, a focus for the Games of Hera where
victorious women could dedicate paintings of themselves in the
temple’s colonnade
Source E
•
•
•
The scene in Source E indicates wealth, prosperity and happiness
The bride is at the centre of the scene and her change in status is
very much the focus of attention – she is certainly not being ignored,
but is instead being treated as precious cargo
The mules, expensive clothing and lavish marble doorway indicate that
marriage is a positive and desirable state, and that the celebration

2(i) may suggest that although wives were kept carefully behind the
scenes at home, concubines and hetairai lived lives that were more
eventful, although they were still controlled by men in different ways
and lacked the status & freedom of citizen women
2(iv) Although Ischomachus’ wife in this source has no opportunity
to voice her own opinions, we do see that she is given material and
physical support in her new home: ‘it is common property, for all that
I possess goes into the common fund…’
3(iii) Women may have valued spending time together on their
weaving, and would have enjoyed some freedom within the
domestic sphere running their households and supervising slaves
where relevant
4(ii) Aristotle is clearly horrified by the freedom and independence
enjoyed by certain Spartan women ‘they live decadently and
luxuriously with every sort of self-indulgence … and in the time of
their empire many things were controlled by the women’
...
The emphasis on strength, fitness and wellbeing
must have been a very freeing experience for Spartan girls
