Primary Sources Testimonial 1: With cruel purpose you fell from above on the bodies of four opponents, and in these Pythian Games no happy homecoming was decreed for them as there was for you. As they returned to their mothers no sweet laughter brought pleasure, but they crept along the back roads, avoiding their enemies, bitten by misfortune. Pindar, Pythian Odes 8.81-87   Testimonial 2: In the Olympic Games you cannot just be beaten and then depart, but first of all, you will be disgraced not only before the people of Athens or Sparta or Nikopolis but before the whole world. In the second place, if you withdraw without sufficient reason you will be whipped. And this whipping comes after your training, which involves thirst, broiling heat and swallowing of handfuls of sand. Epictetus, Discourses 3.22.52 Testimonial 3: Here in Olympia he (Agathos Daimon) died, boxing in the stadium, having prayed to Zeus for either the crown or death, aged 35. Farewell. Epitaph at Olympia

Primary Sources Cont. Testimonial 4: But if a man should rise to greatness by being swift of foot or by skill in the pentathlon, in the sacred precinct of Zeus near the streams of Pisa in Olympia, either wrestling or engaging in the painful sport of boxing or the fearful contest men call the pankration, he would be an honored citizen and would take the seat of honor at the games and would feast at the expense of the state and receive expensive gifts from his country to be passed on to his children… Athenaeus, Doctors at Dinner 10.414   Testimonial 5: An Olympic athlete was paid 30,000 drachmas to enter the local games. Inscription Testimonial 6: Payment to winners of the games: Stade 1250 denarii, Hoplite Race, 500 denarii, Pentathlon 500 denarii, Wrestling 2000 denarii, Boxing 2000 denarii, Pankration 3000 denarii Inscription in Aphrodisias 2nd C. CE. Note: a denarius is a day’s wage for an unskilled worker. Denarii is plural.
