O ovoj e-knjizi
Greek Olympic Rituals explores the Ancient Olympic Games, revealing them as more than just athletic competitions. The book argues that they were a complex blend of sports history, religious rituals honoring Zeus, and political displays among Greek city-states. Intriguingly, a sacred truce, the ekecheiria, was observed, allowing safe passage to Olympia, highlighting the Games' role in maintaining peace. The pursuit of arete, or excellence, drove athletes, reflecting core Greek values. The book uniquely connects athletic events with religious and political dimensions, emphasizing their interdependence. It examines religious practices like sacrifices and oaths, political strategies employed by city-states, and the athletic training regimens. Beginning with the Games' historical and religious context, it progresses through religious rituals, political uses, and athletic competitions, ultimately considering their decline and lasting impact. Drawing on archaeological findings, inscriptions, and ancient texts, the book offers a comprehensive view of this pivotal institution in world history.
