There is an opinion that Lemnos is the place where the pentathlon firstly occurred. It is believed that this kind of competition was firstly arranged by Hypsipyle, the Queen of Lemnos. It was made in honour of the arrival of the Argonauts on the island. Lemnos is known in Greece as the abode of warlike Amazons.
