Olympic Victor Lists and Ancient Greek History PDF
by Paul Christesen
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.
