Editorial Description
With the return to Athens of the Olympic Games in 2004, this well timed book focuses its attention on the homegrown Panathenaic festival, held in the city every four years in antiquity. While not one of the Panhellenic \"crown\" festivals, the weeklong religious and civic celebration held in the city was a dramatic event which drew competitors from all over the Greek world by its prestige and valuable prizes.
