"The objects featured in this book have miraculously survived through time. Together with essays, they tell us about the rituals and sports of the ancient games and their significance within the mythology and society of the ancient Greeks."

Other lending institutions include: the Ancient Olympia Museum; the Ancient Agora Museum; the Acropolis Museum; and the archaeological museums of Delphi, Heraklion, Karameikos, Nauplion, Rhodes, Samos and Thebes. Objects from the Powerhouse Museum collection are also included."--Jacket.
