Literally as new.; 300 pages; Physical desc. : 300 p. : col. ill., map ; 32 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 287-293) and index. Translated from the French by John Flower and Rima Devereaux. Subject: Sport --Greece --History --Olympic games (Ancient). Summary: The Olympic Games invented and organised by the Ancient Greeks teach us important lessons. An Olympic truce suspended hostilities and bloodletting for their duration. A whole idea of what it means to be a man, a whole culture and philosophy, was shaped by these competitions, which testified above all to man's overwhelming ambition, his need to push the limits of his abilities and surpass himself. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of ancient texts and iconography, Professor Bernard makes the case for the festive, brotherly and spectacular side of the competitions, where both physical and mental attributes were equally important to the underlying ideals of beauty and courage. The winner brought honour to himself, his family, his city and to the gods. The Games became a national as well as local institution, developing in an atmosphere of goodwill and joy where only one competitor could hope for glory the victor. 2 Kg. …

Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. André Bernand a choisi de reconsidérer l'Antiquité grecque, en s'éloignant des visions trop convenues, des réalités longtemps idéalisées pour souligner l'importance de la violence et de la guerre au sein des sociétés antiques. Sous sa plume, c'est une anthologie saisissante, émaillée de témoignages et de récits peu connus : brutalités, obsession de la virilité, goût du sang, tueries. Dans un monde qui ignore les droits de l'homme, le plus fort fait la loi, au mépris des traités et des liens du sang. Face aux Perses ou entre Grecs, la parole donnée est fréquemment violée. La traîtrise est une ruse de guerre plutôt qu'une infamie. On tue jusque sur les marches des autels. La mythologie, avec son imaginaire macabre, ses monstres et ses crimes, contribue à la banalisation de la violence. Le monde grec antique, dont nous nous réclamons a donc connu des formes de violences semblables à celles que connaît notre monde contemporain. Derrière la Grèce du savoir et de la sagesse, on découvre une Grèce de cris et de fureurs. Cet essai d'anthropologie historique est une nouvelle leçon de civilisation, aux résonances très actuelles.
