It has become common wisdom that sport is not only an activity assuring physical well-being, it is not only a phenomenon carrying and reinforcing human values while being part of general culture, but that it is also a tool in the process of education, teaching and growing up to be an upright individ - ual. Up until now, we have mostly contented our - selves with saying that sport is a mirror of human activities in society.

  • Rules and Regulations
    Rules and Regulations The ancient Olympics had the potential to be very dangerous, even deadly, and a strict set of rules were imposed to regulate the behavior of athletes. Rules also applied more broadly to the spectators and even the city-states themselves. Who Enforced the Rules? Judges, called the Hellanodikai, were selected from the citizens of Elis and given ten months’ training by Elian officials on how to oversee the games. Once trained, the Hellanodikai were responsible for sorting competitors into age categories, ensuring the Sacred Truce was upheld (see Section 6: Politics), supervising the training of athletes prior to the games, and enforcing the code of conduct for both spectators and athletes. The Hellanodikai had additional help with enforcement and Terracotta Skyphos (Deep Drinking Cup), Greek, Attic, ca. 500 BCE, Terracotta, 06.1021.49, New York City, Metropolitan Museum of Art punishment: mastigophoroi (whip- bearers), rabdouchoi (rod-bearers), and alytarches/alytai, responsible for crowd control. Rules for Athletes Athletes needed the permission of the Hellanodikai to participate in the Olympics. Only male citizens were eligible. If accepted, they spent ten months in training before the start of the games. Even then, their participation wasn’t guaranteed. The Red-Figure Cup Fragment with Athletes, Greek, Attic, ca. 480 BCE, Hellanodikai oversaw the ten-month training period Ceramic, 2006.042.007, Atlanta, Michael C. Carlos Museum and reserved the right to remove substandard athletes from the competition. Athletes might also be removed during this period if the city-state they represented violated the Sacred Truce. Once the games began, athletes were required to perform in the nude, with the exception of chariot drivers and jockeys.

Greece is a country that is enclosed with hills and mountains alongside short riv- ers and fertile va lleys. Even though Greek people were living in separate city-states, they were unit- ed under national pride, common temples, same rituals and games like Olympic. Sports were the most important parts of most Greek men. Gym and music alongside each other, fed the body and the soul of the athletes. They admired the beauty of well-trained men. They believed in multiple gods who were living in Holy mount of Olympus under the reign of greater god, Zeus and they held many rituals to satisfy them and Olympic was the most famous rituals amongst others.

  • Boris Maslov the Epinikion Is Unique Among Archaic Greek Melic Genres in That It Is Represented, for Us, by Two Sizable Contempo
    DOI: 10.21638/11701/spbu20.2016.202 UDC 82-1/-9 Philologia Classica. 2016. Vol. 11. Fasc. 2 THE CHILDREN OF MNEMOSYNE: A CONTRASTIVE METAPOETICS OF PINDAR AND BACCHYLIDES1 Boris Maslov University of Chicago, 1010 East 59th Street, Classics 116 Chicago, IL 60637 USA National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, 17 Promyshlennaia, St. Petersburg 198099, Russian Federation; [email protected] The article investigates the uses to which the figures of the Muse(s) are put in the poetics of Pindar and Bacchylides, considered against the background of their earlier employments in elegiac and melic poetry. Based on a thorough examination of the evidence, it argues that the two poets pursue different strategies: whereas Bacchylides develops a poetic mythology of named Muses (particularly, Ourania), Pindar rede- ploys the single unnamed Muse of the earlier hexameter and choral traditions, envisioning her as the poet’s collaborator. Pindar may thus be seen to originate the notion of the Muse as a deity associated with poetic composition, as contrasted with her mnemonic-epistemic role in hexameter verse. Keywords: Archaic Greek lyric, epinikion, metapoetics, authorship, the Muses, Pindar. The epinikion is unique among Archaic Greek melic genres in that it is represented, for us, by two sizable contemporary corpora. In this regard, epinikion can be compared to Attic tragedy and the “Homeric” corpus of dactylic hexameter poetry; in the latter two cases, intensive comparative work has yielded profound insights into both the poetics of particular texts and, more generally, the evolution of the literary system in Ancient Greece. Much less work has been done on a contrastive poetics of epinikion.

  • Sporcularımızın Yaz Olimpiyatları Öyküsü
    Sporcularımızın Yaz Olimpiyatları Öyküsü Modern Olimpiyat Oyunları’nın kurucusu Fransız Pierre de Coubertin, 1800’lü yılların sonrasında sosyal ve siyasal anlamda çöküntü yaşayan ülkesinin kurtuluşunu, Fransız gencinin ahlakını güçlendirecek, inançlarını sağlamlaştıracak, karakterli, bedenen güçlü ve cesur bir eğitim sisteminde gördü. Türk ulusunun kurtarıcısı Büyük Atatürk’ün ölümünde Fransızların ünlü günlük spor gazetesi L’Auto’da yayınlanan makalede, Atatürk’ün spora verdiği önem şöyle anlatılıyordu: “Dünyada ilk kez beden eğitimini zorunlu kılan devlet adamı o oldu. Yalnızca kağıt üzerinde, nutuklarda değil, uygulayarak yerine getirdi. Stadyumlar ve çeşitli spor merkezleri kurdurdu. Halk evlerinin spor kollarını şahsen denetledi. Ulusun geleceğine yön verdiği günden itibaren Türkiye’de spor gittikçe artan bir önem ve değer kazandı.” Genç Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, Uluslararası Olimpiyat Komitesi’nce tarihinde ilk kez Paris 1924 Olimpiyat Oyunları’na resmen davet edildiğinde, Türkiye İdman Cemiyetleri İttifakı ile Türkiye Milli Olimpiyat Komitesi yöneticileri hükümetten yardım isteme kararı almışlar ve bunun için bir heyeti Ankara’ya göndermişlerdi. 1923 Ağustos’unda Ankara’ya gelen İdman Cemiyetleri İttifakı Başkanı Ali Sami Yen, önce Milli Eğitim Bakanı İsmail Sefa Özler’i daha sonra da Başbakan İsmet İnönü’yü ziyaret ederek gerek İdman Cemiyetleri İttifakı Örgütü’nün ülkedeki gelişimi ve gerekse Türkiye’nin Paris 1924 Olimpiyatı’na katılımı için hazırlanan bir raporu sundu. 18 Ağustos 1923 tarihli hükümet programında şu cümleler yer alıyordu: “Milli Eğitimin görevlerinden birincisi, çocukların eğitimi ve öğretimi; ikincisi, halkın eğitimi ve öğretimi; üçüncüsü, milli yıldızların yetiştirilmesi için gerekli araç-gereçlerin belirlenmesi ve sağlanmasıdır.” Bu arada TMOK Genel Sekreteri ve IOC Türkiye Temsilcisi Selim Sırrı Bey (Tarcan), hükümet programına bir yıl süreli beden eğitimi okulunu koydurma başarısını göstermişti.
