From the Minoan bull-leaping to the ancient Olympics and the
enigmas of their contests, this first volume of Sport in the Greek
and Roman Worlds contains nine articles and chapters of enduring
importance to the study of sport in ancient Greece, a field located
at a crucial intersection of social history, archaeology,
literature, and other aspects of Greek culture. The studies have
been updated with addenda by the original authors, and two of the
articles that were originally published in German or French have
been translated into English here for the first time. The studies,
selected for breadth and importance of historical topics, include:
Greek sport in its epic, heroic, and Bronze Age origins; the
ancient Olympics in its relation to religion, politics, and
diversity of competitors; Greek events in track and field and
equestrian events. A companion second volume complements this one
with studies on the social and economic aspects of Greek sport, the
role of Greek sport in the Roman era, and forms, functions and
venues of Roman spectacles. The articles in both volumes offer an
excellent starting point to inspire newcomers to the study of
ancient sport, and to give students and scholars an informative set
of models for present knowledge and future research.
