"Take a fascinating look at the role of sport as practiced in several important civilizations in the ancient world. Nigel Crowther not only probes the games themselves, but explores the ways in which athletics figured into cultural arenas that extended beyond physical prowess to military associations, rituals, status, and politics."--Jacket
