Sport in Antiquity

Welcome back to the Sport History Course Blog.

This week we began a unit on sport in antiquity, with an initial focus on ancient Greek athletics - including the ancient Olympics.

For more information on the ancient Olympics (and as a nice supplement to the lecture notes provided in class), spend some time visiting this fine digital library supported by Tufts University.

Penn also has an excellent online resource about the ancient games.
