Gymnasticus is the sole surviving ancient treatise on sports, which reshapes conventional ideas about the athletic body.$bIn the writings of Philostratus (ca. 170-ca. 250 CE), the renaissance of Greek literature in the second century CE reached its height. His Life of Apollonius of Tyana, Lives of the Sophists, and Imagines reconceive in different ways Greek religion, philosophy, and art in and for the world of the Roman Empire. In this volume, Heroicus and Gymnasticus, two works of equal creativity and sophistication, together with two brief Discourses (Dialexeis), complete the Loeb edition of his writings. Heroicus is a conversation in a vineyard amid ruins of the Protesilaus shrine (opposite Troy on the Hellespont), between a wise and devout vinedresser and an initially skeptical Phoenician sailor, about the beauty, continuing powers, and worship of the heroes. With information from his local hero, the vinedresser reveals unknown stories of the Trojan campaign especially featuring Protesilaus and Palamedes, and describes complex, miraculous, and violent rituals in the cults of Achilles. Gymnasticus is the sole surviving ancient treatise on sports. It reshapes conventional ideas about the athletic body and expertise of the athletic trainer and also explores the history of the Olympic Games and other major Greek athletic festivals, portraying them as distinctive venues for the display of knowledge. 606 $aDialogues, Greek$vTranslations into English 606 $aGymnastics$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aGymnastics 606 $aHero worship$zGreece$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aHero worship$zGreece 606 $aHeroes$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aPhysical education and training$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aPhysical education and training$zGreece$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aPhysical education and training$zGreece 606 $aProtesilaus (Greek mythology)$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aTrojan War$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aDialogues, Greek$3(OCoLC)892521$2fast 606 $aGymnastics$3(OCoLC)949583$2fast 606 $aHeroes$3(OCoLC)955558$2fast 606 $aPhysical education and training$3(OCoLC)1062401$2fast 606 $aProtesilaus (Greek mythology)$3(OCoLC)1079789$2fast 607 $aGreece$2fast 608 $aDialogues, Greek$vTranslations into English. 615 0$aDialogues, Greek 615 0$aGymnastics 615 0$aGymnastics. 615 0$aHero worship 615 0$aHero worship 615 0$aHeroes 615 0$aPhysical education and training 615 0$aPhysical education and training 615 0$aPhysical education and training 615 0$aProtesilaus (Greek mythology) 615 0$aTrojan War 615 7$aDialogues, Greek 615 7$aGymnastics 615 7$aHeroes 615 7$aPhysical education and training 615 7$aProtesilaus (Greek mythology) 700 $aPhilostratus$cthe Athenian,$factive 2nd century-3rd century,$0281640 702 $aK onig$b Jason 702 $aRusten$b Jeffrey S. 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996199219503316 996 $aHeroicus$92558375 997 $aUNISA
