İsthmia Oyunları

İstmiya Oyunları, (Antik Yunanca: Ἴσθμια ) Antik Yunanistan´da Korint Kanalı çevresinde her iki yılda bir kutlanan Panhellenik oyunlardır.

Eğer ilk Olimpiyat Oyunu´nun başlangıç tarihini M.Ö. 776 yılı olarak kabul edeӀirse İstmiya Oyunları´nın ilk kez M.Ö. 584 yılında oynandığını söylenebilir.^[1] Bu oyunların adı oynandığı bölge olan İstmus Korint - Korint Kıstağı teriminden gelir.

Bu oyunlarda en azından M.Ö. 5. yüzyıla kadar kazananlara bir çelenk hazırlanıp sunulmuştur.^[2] Bu çelenk çam yapraklarından oluşuyordu.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Bunun yanında kazananlar bir heykel ya da kaside ile de övülebilirlerdi.^[6] Kazanılan bu ödüller dışında Atina Meclisi kazananları fazladan 100 Drahmi ile de ödüllendirirdi.^[7]

Köken[değiştir | kaynağı değiştir]

Efsaneye göre bu oyunlar bir cenaze töreninin anısına düzenlenmektedir. Korint´in efsanevi kralı ve kurucusunun bulduğu bir ölüyü Korint Kıstağı üzerinde yakmasının ardından Atina kralı Theseus´un bu töreni Apollon´un anısına her yıl düzenli olarak gerçekleşen spor oyunları hâline getirmesi ile biçimlenmiştir.

Geçmişi[değiştir | kaynağı değiştir]

M.Ö. 228'de ya da M.Ö. 229'da Romalılar´ın da bu oyunlara katılmalarına izin verilmiştir.^[8]

Korint daima İstmiya Oyunları´nın merkezi olmuştur. M.Ö. 146'da Korint, Romalılar tarafından yerle bir edildiğinde bile oyunlar başka devletler tarafından organize ediliyor olmuşsa da Korint´te devam etmiştir. Kentin M.Ö. 44 yılında Sezar tarafından tekrar kurulmasından sonra oyunlar M.Ö. 7 ve M.S. 3 yıllarında tamamen Korint´in ev sahipliği ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Kadınların da katılma haklarının olduğu Müzik ve şiir yarışmaları.^[10]

M.Ö. 216'da Tebaili Cleistomachus aynı günde güreş, boks ve pankration dalındaki tüm karşılaşmaları kazanmıştır.^[11]

Güvenlik[değiştir | kaynağı değiştir]

Eğer oyunların yapılacağı dönemde iki devlet arasında herhangi bir anlaşmazlık ya da savaş var ise ateşkes ilân edilir ve ülkenin dört bir yanından atletler Korint´e gelirlerdi.^[12] M.Ö. 412'de, Atina ile Korint savaş içinde olmalarına rağmen Atinalı atletler alışılageldiği biçimde spor müsabakalarına davert edilmişlerdir.^[13]

So to ease their minds, and free them from any superstitious thoughts or forebodings of evil, Timoleon halted, and concluded an address suitable to the occasion, by saying, that a garland of triumph was here luckily brought them, and had fallen into their hands of its own accord, as an anticipation of victory: the same with which the Corinthians crown the victors in the Isthmian games, accounting chaplets of parsley the sacred wreath proper to their country; parsley being at that time still the emblem of victory at the Isthmian, as it is now at the Nemean sports; and it is not so very long ago that the pine first began to be used in its place.” “26.
