The ancient Greeks actually held four different athletic competitions, one every year, each one honoring a different god. The Olympics were just one competition out of the four, which is why the Summer Games and the Winter Games are held every four years. The Olympics honored the king of the gods, Zeus, who lived on Mount Olympus. Zeus was the most important of all the Greek gods, so the Olympic quickly became the most important athletic competition. The ancient Olympics were different from the modern Games in other ways as well. Only men were allowed to compete in the early ancient Olympics—adult women were not allowed to compete or even to watch. The Greeks did allow young girls to watch the games, though. Eventually, the Greeks created a separate women's athletic festival in 470 BC to honor the goddess, Hera, the wife of Zeus. 1.根据短文内容，选择正确的答案。 ( ) What does the passage talk about? A.
