The role of athletics in ancient Greece extended beyond the realms of kinesiology, competition, and entertainment. This book examines this intersection, offering a context for understanding the attitudes of ancient Greeks towards themselves and their environment. It draws on orators and philosophers such as Isocrates, Demosthenes, and Plato.
