Product Description

Since earliest Christian martyrologies, there have been abundant uses of the metaphor of analysis of ancient athletics. This book explores these metaphors as rhetoric that fashions a resistant subjectivity that contrasts, contradicts, and even partially creates or demonstrates political and national identity, gender, and ideological strength.
