Her hands
raised horses strong
They led her to two wins
A historic first lasting for

A/N: Cynisca was the first woman to win at the Olympic Games in 396 BC. She competed in chariot racing with a team of horses she had trained herself, and took first place. She accomplished the same feat again four years later. She was also a Spartan princess, which unsurprisingly contributed to her wins, as it afforded her with the necessary wealth and far more encouragement than most other women in the ancient Greek world due to her being Spartan.
