The Pentathlon Of The Ancient World

"This exploration of the ancient pentathlon explores the nature of the spectacle, the method of determining a victor, the five sub-events, and the order in which they occurred. It chronicles the event's history, its champions, ancient pentathletes, and modern Olympic history and its influence on its counterpart, the decathalon. A record book and glossary complete this look"--Provided by publisher.
