The Ancient Greek Olympics

32 pp. | Oxford | January, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-19-521581-8 $$16.95
(4) 4-6 Although information on the origins of the modern Olympics is included, the main focus is a detailed daily overview of the ancient games. The average-quality text, accompanied by color reproductions from Greek art, presents the order of events, explains the rules for each competition, and includes succinct historical anecdotes. Occasional photographs from the modern-day games seem out of place. Bib., ind.
