Excerpt from Julian the Apostate, Vol. 1 of 2: In Two Parts
Gallus. Oh, in all sorts of games! I wrestled, boxed, Took flying leaps, ran races, flung the disk, Or shot the feathery arrow through the rings. You would have laughed to see how they admired My strength and skill. I won the prize from all.
