  • "In this beautifully illustrated and eye-opening book, the author and his associate have accomplished the near impossible: a brilliant history of the mysterious and little-known events on which our modern Olympic Games were patterned. They tell us not only what the actual sporting events and rules were, but who the athletes were and how they were trained, how the games were financed and managed, and how the participants viewed the games themselves."
  • "This book presents a definitive survey of the Olympic Games, from 776 B.C. to A.D. 261. Readers are transported back to the eighth century B.C. and are introduced to the games' events and their historical, social, and religious context. The authors also delineate the similarities and differences between ancient and modern games."
