'''המשחקים הפיתיים''' היו אחד מ[[המשחקים הפאן הלניים]] שנערכו ב[[יוון העתיקה]] - והיוו למעשה סוג מוקדם של [[משחקים אולימפיים]]. המשחקים נערכו אחת לארבע שנים במקדש [[אפולון]] ב[[דלפי]] לכבודו של האל אפולון.
[[Image:Delphi stadium starting line DSC06301.jpg|thumb|150px|right|This starting line at the Delphi stadium used for the Pythian Games at Delphi, Greece has a design representative of that of many ancient Greek stadiums: stones with two lines in which the athletes nudged their toes, and round holes in which posts could be erected to support the start signalling mechanism.]]
המשחקים נערכו שנתיים לפני ושנתיים לאחרי כל אולימפיאדה, ובין [[המשחקים הנמאיים]] ו[[המשחקים האיסתמיים]] (היינו נערכו משחקים מידי שנה).
 
==היסטוריה==
The '''Pythian Games''' were one of the four [[Panhellenic Games]] of [[Ancient Greece]], a forerunner of the modern [[Olympic Games]], held every four years at the sanctuary of [[Apollo]] at [[Delphi]].
They were held in honour of [[Apollo]] two years after (and two years before) each Olympic Games, and between each [[Nemean Games|Nemean]] and [[Isthmian Games]].<!-- They were founded sometime in the [[6th century BC]], and, unlike the Olympic Games, also featured competitions for music and poetry. The music and poetry competitions pre-dated the athletic portion of the games, and were said to have been started by Apollo after he killed [[Python (mythology)|Python]] and set up the oracle at Delphi. Otherwise, the athletic events were the same as the Olympic Games. A four-horse [[chariot racing|chariot race]] was held in a [[hippodrome]] in the plain, not far from the sea, in the place where the original stadium was. (ref: [[Pindar]])
