Synopsis "Ancient Greek Martial Arts: Warfare and Combat Sports in the Classical World"
ANCIENT GREEK MARTIAL ARTS: Warfare and Combat Sports in the Classical World is a fully-illustrated guide to the battlefield tactics of the hoplite soldier and the athletic competitions that evolved from them. The author examines the heavy events of wrestling, boxing, and the all-encompassing pankration in great depth, in addition to weapons competition (hoplomachia). Topics include arms and armor, the phalanx formation, the pyrrich war dances, tournament rules, a functional analysis of techniques, and training methods along with a complete listing of all the Olympic combat sports champions from their inception in 708 B.C. until the last documented contest on record. Emphasis is given to the role that combat played in Hellenic culture and its spiritual connection to the gods themselves.The book features photos of modern-day reenactors demonstrating hoplite skills and numerous works of art depicted onvases, architectural friezes, frescoes, sculptures, and coins showing combat athletes in heated action. A comprehensive glossary of relevant military and sport terms is also included.
