Abstract: The public space in ancient Greece is a kind of equality, freedom and a symbol of justice, which embodies the city-state will and citizens’ right. Cultural and sports locations constitute Greek people’s material and secular space. Customs and beliefs constitute the cultural and religious space of their sports activities while the sense of citizenship constitutes their political and system space. It is in such public spaces that the ancient Greeks created their brilliant civilizations that finally became the immortal power to guide the development of the present western society and benefited mankind.

Key words: public space, ancient Greece, sports activities
