Editorial Reviews
Paedeia Magazine, New York
From the ancient times, man has in various ways ex-pressed his natural inclination towards sporting activities. This inclination, which cultivates the competitive spirit, is based on such concepts as the enthusiasm for distinction, the admiration of excellence, the joy of victory, and the satisfaction of special feelings and ideals.
Book Description
The immense history of the Greeks includes the development of athletic ideals that found expression during the 5th century BC in great hellenic sanctuaries of Olympia, Delphi, Isthmus, and Nemea. This book contains the complete history of the games which was finally inaugurated at 776 BC and still remains the only single event in mans history that is widely celebrated.
