505 0 |a From the first to the third century AD Greek athletics flourished as never before. This book offers exciting new readings of those developments. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, it sheds new light on practices of athletic competition and athletic education in the Roman Empire. In addition it examines the ways in which athletic activity was represented within different texts and contexts, and the controversies it attracted. Above all, the book shows how discussion and representation of athletic could become entangled with other areas of cultural debate and used as a vehicle for many different varieties of authorial self-presentation and cultural self-scrutiny. It also argues for complex connections between different areas of athletic representation, particularly those between literary and epigraphical texts. It offers reinterpretations of a number of major authors, especially Lucian, Dio Chrysostom, Pausanias, Silius Italicus, Galen and Philostratus
