In addition to excluding women from participating in the games, a very stringent regulation prohibited married women from entering the stadium in Ancient Greece. Whose priestess was the only married woman allowed to enter?
Answer Demeter
The only woman permitted entry was the priestess of Demeter, who sat opposite the judges on the goddess' altar and observed the games. Horodes Atticus' wife Regilla held this prestigious position during the Roman era.
