How is sport in contemporary society related to sport in earlier
civilizations? Why is the expenditure of energy involved in sport
considered exhilarating, while the equivalent expenditure of energy
in other contexts can be dispiriting? David Sansone offers answers
to these questions and advances a revolutionary thesis to account
for the widespread phenomenon of sport. Drawing upon ethnological
findings to demonstrate the ritual character of sport, he explores
the relationship between ancient Greek sport and sacrificial ritual
and traces elements common to both back to primitive origins.
