Abstract: The ideas of Ancient Greek competitive sports activities for fete are the academic concepts based on the description in Homer's Epic and there are many impeaches.

Although there are some descriptions in Homer's Epic, many doubts exist, so it is still impossible to prove the existence of funeral sports competitions.

Key words: Ancient Greece, the Homeric poems, funeral sports, myth, question
