Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XXII, 297 p.: Ill. Bleistifteintrag auf Schmutztitel, sonst ein gutes, sauberes Exemplar / binding slightly rubbed, top edge slightly soiled, pencil entry on half title, otherwise a good, clean copy. - The Archaeology of the Olympics presents a stirring reevaluation of the Olympic Games (and related festivals) as they actually were, not as the ancient Greeks wished and we still wish they might have been. Historians, archaeologists, and classicists examine the evidence to address numerous questions: How did the athletes train? What did they eat? Can we trace the roots of the games as far back as the Bronze Age of Crete and Mycenae? Or even to Anatolia, where similar athletic activities occurred? Were the ancient games really so free of political overtones as modem Olympic rhetoric urges us to believe? / Contents Illustrations Editor s Note Preface to the Second Edition Preface to the First Edition Introduction Wendy J.
