From the eighth century BCE to the late third century CE, Greeks
trained in sport and competed in periodic contests that generated
enormous popular interest. As a result, sport was an ideal vehicle
for the construction of a plurality of identities along the lines
of ethnic origin, civic affiliation, legal and social status as
well as gender. Sport and Identity in Ancient Greece delves into
the rich literary and epigraphic record on ancient Greek sport and
examines, through a series of case studies, diverse aspects of the
process of identity construction through sport. Chapters discuss
elite identities and sport, sport spectatorship, the regulatory
framework of Greek sport, sport and benefaction in the Hellenistic
and Roman world, embodied and gendered identities in epigraphic
commemoration, as well as the creation of a hybrid culture of
Greco-Roman sport in the eastern Mediterranean during the Roman
imperial period.
