The ancient Olympics in Athens benefited various professions and trades. The smiths made equipment like chariots, weavers wove olive wreaths for winners, and merchants provided building materials and advertised the games. Masons carved stone discs for competitions and Athens' landscape with mountains and access by sea line allowed for carved stadiums and easy athlete travel.

2. The Smiths
• The smiths could make the equipment for
the games, like the chariots.

3. The Weavers
• The weavers could make the olive wreath
that the winner gets.

4. The Merchants
• The merchants could provide the building
materials. They could get them from other
city-states to give to the smiths.
• The merchants could also advertise for the
games as they traveled on their trade
routes.

5. The Masons
• The masons made the discs out of stone
for the disc throwing competition, which
was easy because Athens had plenty of
stones and masons.

6. Athens Land
• Athens land is easy to access due to its
shoe lines, so the athletes could get to the
games easily.

7. Athens Land 2
• Athens had a lot of mountains, so they
could carve stadiums for wrestling, chariot
racing, etc. out of the faces of the
mountains.
