Book Synopsis
In the world of sports, the most important component is the athlete. After all, without athletes there would be no sports. In ancient Greece, athletes were public figures, idolized and envied. This fascinating book draws on a broad range of ancient sources to explore the development of athletes in Greece from the archaic period to the Roman Empire.

Trade Review
“The Athlete in the Ancient Greek World is the first book-length study of different groups of athletes and changing attitudes toward them. It makes an original and important contribution to the field.” —Mark Golden, author of Sport in the Ancient World from A to Z
