Sport, Democracy and War in Classical Athens
Pritchard, David M. (Senior Lecturer, University of Queensland)
Why did sport, an elite pastime, escape the usual criticism of such activities in democratic Athens? This is a bold and novel exploration of this question, which examines the links between three of the fundamental aspects of Athens in the classical period - democratic politics, commitment to sport and constant warfare.
