Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. A definitive survey of the Olympic games, from 776 B.C. to A.D. 261, this scholarly, yet immensely readable account of Olympic athletes in ancient times takes a highly realistic view of these fabled contests. Transporting readers back to the eighth century B.C., Professor M. I. Finley and Dr. H. W. Pleket draw upon their extensive knowledge of the ancient world to explain in absorbing detail the various sporting events and their historical, social, and religious context. They also detail the similarities and differences between ancient and modern games. Through their examination of ancient documents, the authors conclude that today's audiences would be astonished by the brutality exhibited in many of the Olympic events. The ferocity of boxing and wrestling matches, for example, is unparalleled in modern games. No event today could match the spectacle or excitement of the four-horse chariot races in which thirty to forty teams competed. Of special interest were the demands made by the victors, who expected, insisted upon, and procured material rewards for their victories, regardless of class or personal fortune. Richly illustrated with rare artwork, this authoritative account of one thousand years of early Olympic history will appeal not only to classical scholars but to all those interested in sports and athletic events.

Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. De moderne Olympische Spelen werden voor de eerste maal gehouden in Athene in 1896. Sindsdien vonden ze -met onderbrekingen tijdens de wereldoorlogen - om de vier jaar plaats -dit jaar, 1976, voor de 18de keer, in Montreal. Volgens de traditie werden de oorspronkelijke Olympische Spelen in de klassieke oudheid gesticht in 776 v.Chr. en nadien zonder onderbreking in Olympia gehouden tot aan minstens 261 na Chr. - meer dan duizend jaar lang! Dit rijk geïllustreerde boek geeft een aantrekkelijk verslag van de geschiedenis van deze in de gehele klassieke wereld steeds zeer invloedrijke Spelen: wat waren de wedstrijdonderdelen, wie waren de deelnemers, wat waren de 'medailles', was 'deelnemen belangrijker dan overwinnen'? De auteurs, resp. hoogleraar aan de universiteit van Cambridge en lector aan de universiteit van Leiden, hebben mede op basis van recent onderzoek en nieuw ontdekte teksten een overzichtelijk en intrigerend verhaal geschreven over de Spelen van toen dat zeker zal aanspreken bij geïnteresseerden in de Spelen van nu.…
