Coroa de oliveira

A coroa de oliveira (em grego: κότινος, kótinos^[1]) era o prémio atribuído ao vencedor dos Antigos Jogos Olímpicos.

Era um ramo da oliveira selvagem^[2] que crescia em Olímpia,^[3] interligado para formar um círculo. Os ramos da oliveira-selvagem sagrada, perto do templo de Zeus, eram cortados por um "pais amfithalis" (um menino cujos pais eram ambos vivos) com um par de tesouras de ouro. Em seguida, ele levava-os para o templo de Hera e colocava-os sobre uma mesa de ouro e marfim. A partir daí, o Hellanodikai (o júri dos Jogos Olímpicos) levava-os, fazia as coroas e coroava os vencedores dos Jogos.^[4]
