Sport and Society in Ancient Greece
Sport and Society in Ancient Greece provides a concise and readable introduction to ancient Greek sport. It covers such topics as the links between sport, religion and warfare, the origins and history of the Olympic games, and the spirit of competition among the Greeks.

The book includes guides to the ancient evidence and to modern scholarship on the subject.
