Ancient Olympic Philosophy: Sport, Athletes, Excellence, Education, Women, Beauty, Peace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781942495758)

Ancient Olympia is not just the birthplace of the Olympic Games, it is also the origin of philosophical ideas that resonate even today. Combining the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle with the art, archaeology, and history of Ancient Olympia, this short book offers ancient Greek insight on the nature of sport, athletes, and human excellence, as well as the less-expected topics of women, beauty, fairness, and peace.
