1t was practiced by men, boys, women,
and girls in q part of the gymnasium

wards. He lron a money pr.xe of con-
siderable val,e, and was welcomed back
to his native city as Q hero aud Inter
tanned In its town hall by the digni.aries
Of tho state. The great sculptors If the
day executed his statue, aud poets sang
his praises IL odes which in some in
stances have become immortal. iBut in
later days public opinion altered very
much in this regard. The polished Greek
came to value intellectual strength more
than physical, and to esteem mental gym
nastics more than bodily exercise. The
severe training for ~prize-winning became
more and more exacting, and tended to
usurp an athletes whole attention, to tho
exclusion Of more liberal culture.
Athletes fell into disrepute in much the
same manner as professional runners,
boxers. and scullers have done at the
present day. The athlete Was no match
for the polished thrusts Of the philoso-
piers Wit, and his heaviness, dizziness,
and stupidity we're . constant target for
the comic poets subtle humor. Another
argument against athleticism was the
hrutalizing tendency Of such contests as
the pancratium,' in which the vanquished
competitor wa put to the humiliation Of
suing for mercy at the victor's hands.
Finally We may say that though the
panctattost ct any rate was not much
above the level Of the modern prize
fighter the Greeks contrived, by the COM
bination Of literary and musical con:
tests with physical and by the aid Of
sculpture anu poetry, to throw around
their games an 1nequaled splendor. The
greatest painters and sculptors found
their models and the greatest poets their
Olympic games.

running and wrestling were omitted, and
" may have been on these occasions that
three successes constituted a victory.
The most dangerous sports of all re.
main to be considered-the boxing and
the ps~ncratium. Greek boxers were not
content to use the naked fists, but bound
taeir hands aud wrists with leather
thongs. Later on these thongs, which
were termed mild or gentle, were studded
with pieces of metal, and then the blow
must have been frightful, though inten-
ti3nal killing Of ones adversary was not
commended. 1t seems that, though great
skill, endurance, and courage must have

Pausanias. Two boxers of great skill
and strength could neither Of them get at
the other, and therefore agreed to receive
a blow turn and turn about. The first
struck his adversary full on top of the
head. while the other drove his fingers
into his adversary's stomach and pulled
out his e~ntrsils. The dying man was
crowned victor, on the ground that the
fve.6ngered blow was a foul one.
The pancratium, OF complete combat,
was . combination of boxing and wrest-
ling, and those who trained for it were
termed pancratiasts. They did not wear
thongs upon their hands, for these would
have been hindrances in the wrestling,

we may mention tall-playing, which was
