摘要
This paper explores representations of the athletic body in classical Athenian literature (c.480–336 bce) and their implications for understanding the role of sport in ancient Athens during the period in question. In Greek epinician literature and plastic arts the male athletic body was frequently stereotyped as a token of physical and moral superiority and as a central attribute of manliness. On a civic level, in Athens masculinity was also enacted through group displays of physical fitness and co-ordination performed at the Panathenaea festival. But there also existed a different strand, visible in genres such as comedy and medical literature, which viewed the athletic body as food-devouring, over-trained and muscularly disfigured. It is argued that in Athens this deviant image of the athletic body can be perceived as part of a wider discourse that contrasts professional athletes and their bodies to the model of the adequately trained, militarily efficient and politically involved body of the ideal citizen.
