Paperback. Zustand: New. In the world of sports, the most important component is the athlete. After all, without athletes there would be no sports. In ancient Greece, athletes were public figures, idolized and envied. This fascinating book draws on a broad range of ancient sources to explore the development of athletes in Greece from the archaic period to the Roman Empire. Whereas many previous books have focused on the origins of the Greek games themselves, or the events or locations where the games took place, this volume places a unique emphasis on the athletes themselves - and the fostering of their athleticism. Moving beyond stereotypes of larger-than-life heroes, Reyes BertolÍn CebriÁn examines the experiences of ordinary athletes, who practiced sports for educational, recreational, or professional purposes. According to BertolÍn CebriÁn, the majority of athletes in ancient times were young men and mostly single. Similar to today, most athletes practiced sport as part of their schooling. Yet during the fifth century B.C., a major shift in ancient Greek education took place, when the curriculum for training future leaders became more academic in orientation. As a result, argues BertolÍn CebriÁn, the practice of sport in the Hellenistic period lost its appeal to the intellectual elite, even as it remained popular with large sectors of the population. Thus, a gap emerged between the 'higher' and 'lower' cultures of sport. In looking at the implications of this development for athletes, whether high-performing or recreational, this erudite volume traverses such wide-ranging fields as history, literature, medicine, and sports psychology to recreate - in compelling detail - the life and lifestyle of the ancient Greek athlete.…

Zustand: Neu. Literature for Youth and Children in Ancient Greece. The book deals with the classification of humorous epic in ancient Greece, investigating the assumption that comic epic constitutes an independent genre from parody. Although very few fragments have survived, there is enough evidence to postulate three different sub-genres: humorous oral epic, written parodies, and beast epics. Each corresponds with a different period of Greek history, different authorship, different public and different purpose. The fragments are studied in the social and historical context of the time of their production and compared with other contemporary literary genres. 133 Seiten, broschiert (Spudasmata.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book outlines the evolution of Greek heroic epic from funeral laments and creates a model for epic evolution using Greek, other Indo-European, and non-Indo-European materials. Singing the Dead conceives the epic as a post-Mycenean phenomenon associated with the first migrations away from the ancestors' tombs to the Ionian coast. Physical separation from the tombs impelled the development of narration concerning the ancestors and the rite at the tomb was substituted by stories that eventually became epic.…
