Olympic Victor Lists and Ancient Greek History, Hardback Book

Olympic Victor Lists and Ancient Greek History Hardback

Hardback

Description

This book is a comprehensive examination of Olympic victor lists.

The origins, development, content, and structure of Olympic victor lists are explored and explained, and a number of important questions, such as the source and reliability of the year of 776 for the first Olympics, are addressed.

Olympic victor lists emerge as a clearly defined type of literature that is best understood as a group of closely related texts.

This book offers a fresh perspective on works by familiar writers such as Diodorus Siculus and a sense of the potential importance of less-well-known authors such as Phlegon of Tralleis.
