Abstract

This is the first book on athletics in the Hellenistic era, with 16 contributions covering a range of historical, archaeological and philological perspectives. Previous scholarship has focused primarily on the classical age and the Roman imperial period, but it was in the Hellenistic age that Greek sport saw several important developments: the spread of Greek athletic culture in the East following the campaigns of Alexander the Great, the foundation of new athletic contests, and the emergence of a professional association of athletes. Topics discussed in this volume include how agonistic victories were exploited in legitimating (some) Hellenistic kings, the value placed on athletic prowess in the lively urban culture of this time, the role of sport in defining Greek identity, and the changing modes of representation of athletic action in literature and the arts. In emphasizing the central place of athletics in Greek culture, these papers offer new insights and will have far-reaching implications for our understanding of the wider political and social history of the Hellenistic period.

Abstract

Les courses hippiques ont eu dans le monde grec une importance considérable, non seulement dans les concours olympiques, mais dans beaucoup d’autres rencontres sportives de fréquentation locale, régionale ou panhellénique. Ce volume constitue le premier ouvrage exclusivement consacré à ces courses et aux hippodromes. Il rend compte des importants progrès faits ces dernières années dans l’analyse des représentations iconographiques et des textes littéraires ou épigraphiques ayant trait aux sports hippiques. Il contient de nouvelles restitutions d’hippodromes déjà connus, comme ceux d’Olympie et du Lykaion, et la présentation de pistes nouvellement identifiées, comme celles de Delphes ou d’Épidaure. Vingt-huit articles, issus d’un colloque international qui s’est tenu à Athènes en 2016, restituent dans toute leur ampleur et dans toute leur diversité la place et la forme des hippodromes et des courses hippiques dans l’architecture, les arts figurés, la poésie et l’histoire politique, économique, sociale et religieuse du monde grec. Horse racing held a significant role in the Greek world, not only in the Olympic competitions, but in many other sporting events – local, regional or Panhellenic. This volume is the first study to exclusively investigate these races and hippodromes. This volume acknowledges the significant progress made in recent years in the analysis of iconographic representations and literary or epigraphic texts relating to hippic sports. It outlines new reproductions of already known racetracks, such as those of Olympia and the Lykaion, and presents newly identified tracks, such as those of Delphi or Epidaurus. Twenty-eight articles, coming out of an international conference held in Athens in 2016, reproduce in all their breadth and diversity, the place and the form of racetracks and horse racing in architecture, the figurative arts, poetry and the political, economic, social and religious history of the Greek world.
