what town was the athletic contests in Greece?

Answer 1

Olympia; it's on the west side of the Peloponnesian peninsula.

Wiki gives the coordinates as:
37°38′0″N
21°37′0″E

That's where the famous forerunners of the Olympic Games were held in antiquity, though athletic contests were a huge part of Hellenistic society & culture all over the ancient world. Any reasonably sized city-state would have held games as an integral part of religious festivals and military training.

Ancient archeological sites around the Mediterranean and Asia Minor include stadia. And Greek art - pottery, painting, sculpture, and literature - reflects an obsession with contests of physical strength, speed, & endurance.
