difficult il must have been TO develop
a style that would lead To accuracy.
But the Greeks also had the distance
event as we know il now.
Pictures on vases reveal another
difference between the Greek style for
the javelin and the present-Gay form.
The ancientS always had a leather

This throwing thong was evidently not
