Commentary An ancient introduction to the 15th Idyll of Theocritus mentions that the poem was inspired by Sophron's mime on the women watching the Isthmian games. Nothing further is known about this particular mime of Sophron’s, and it is uncertain whether it even proves that women were allowed to attend the Isthmian games rather than representing some form of comedic reversal.
