출판사 서평

그리크시대의 운동경기. The Book of Greek Athletics, by F. A. Wright


PREFACE
IN a previous volume[A] an attempt was made to set out the principles followed by
the Greeks in the three sister arts of acting, music, and painting; and to show how in
some respects we have failed to improve upon their practice. It is perhaps doubtful
whether the mass of our countrymen will ever take a very deep interest in the laws
that govern the right use of colour, sound, and gesture; and even if our inferiority in
art were proved, it is probable that the position would be regarded with equanimity.
But as regards athletics the case is different; and it is with some hesitation that
in this book, after giving a brief account of Greek gymnastics and physical training,
I have ventured to raise the question whether Greek systems of bodily culture were
not in some ways superior to ours, and whether on the whole the Athenians of the
fifth century B.C. were not a finer and a healthier people than are the Englishmen of
to-day.
Before the year 1914 such doubts might never have presented themselves. But
one of the many unpleasant truths that the War revealed was that the physical
condition of our average middle-aged citizen was very far from being what it should
be. Indeed, anyone whose business it was then to{10} examine recruits, if he was at
all familiar with the work of Greek sculptors, must often have noticed with positive
pain the difference that was apparent between the figure of the typical Greek athlete
and the figure of the typical English town-dweller.
The reasons for this poverty of physique were manifold―city life, alcohol,
nicotine, sedentary occupations, unsuitable food among the most frequent―but
there was one that overshadowed all the rest, a complete ignorance of the structure
and functions of the human body. Accompanying this ignorance nearly always came
an utter lack of acquaintance with the elementary principles of gymnastics. There
were very few men who did not take a passionate interest in the progress of some
football team, and there were equally few who had ever given any intelligent thought
to their own physical condition.
