The Olympics before the marketing. Frederick Adam Wright explains what Greek athletics actually were: the festivals and their gods, the stadium and the wrestling ground, the trainers, the diet, the olive crown that was the only prize, and the creeping professionalism that eventually spoiled it. You will discover how sport and religion and citizenship were once the same thing. The origin of every stadium you have ever sat in. Press play and enter the arena.
