“…Según Plutarco Solón prohibió a los esclavos participar o entrenar en los gimnasios y tener un joven amante; esto forma parte, sin duda, de una legislación más amplia que delimita más firmemente y define la distancia entre esclavos y ciudadanos 105 . Por otra parte, esta normativa demuestra que la práctica de las relaciones homoeróticas estaba ya extendida en los gimnasios en relación con el entrenamiento y la actividad atlética 106 .…”

Resumen: En este artículo nos adentramos en la reorganización de las Panateneas desde el 566 hasta finales del s.VI, centrándonos especialmente en algunas pruebas atléticas de carácter “militar”, así como en el imaginario de la fiesta en relación con los gigantes y Atenea Promachos de las ánforas panatenaicas. La impronta “guerrera” de la fiesta puede ponerse en relación, desde nuestra perspectiva, con un contexto social de desarrollo de un grupo de ciudadanos con capacidad para costearse el armamento (los zeugitai solonianos) que participan de la fiesta y se sienten representados ideológicamente y posiblemente también en la práctica de las competiciones; en este sentido analizaremos la base social de la transferencia de unos determinados valores aristocráticos a una parte del demos y la construcción cultural de este colectivo a través de las Panateneas en el contexto histórico de la Atenas del s.VI.Abstract: In this article we study the reorganization of the Panathenaia from 566 until the end of the Sixth century BC, focusing especially on some athletic contests with military character, as well as exploring the imaginary of the festival in relation to the giants and the Athena Promachos of Panatenaic amphoras. The "warrior" stamp of the festival can be related, from our perspective, with a social context of development of a group of citizens who could afford the armament (the solonian zeugitai); they participate in the feast and feel represented ideologically in it and possibly also in the practice of the games. In this sense we will analyze the social basis of the transfer of certain aristocratic values to a part of the demos and the cultural construction of this collective through the panathenaic celebration in the historical context of Sixth Century Athens.Palabras clave: hoplitodromos, danza pírrica, carrera de antorchas, apobates, gigantomaquia, hoplitas.Key words: hoplitodromos, pyrrhic danza, torch race, apobates, gigantomachy, hoplites.

In their first stasimon, the chorus of Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis (= IA) praises ‘concealed Kypris’ as a marker of virtue for women (568–72): μέγα τι θηρεύειν ἀρετάν, γυναιξὶ μὲν κατὰ Κύ- πριν κρυπτάν, ἐν ἀνδράσι δ᾿ αὖ κόσμος ἐνὼν ὁ μυριοπλη- θὴς μείζω πόλιν αὔξει. It is something great to hunt for excellence. For women, it is according to concealed Kypris, and among men in turn manifold order being within makes the city grow greater.

Greek sport was in its earliest forms and predominantly thereafter a male activity. Greek masculine virtues were consistently reflected in texts discussing sport from Homer onward. The athletic and the martial spheres were often in tension regarding how greatly success in sport was valued as a measure of male excellence. The Greek gymnasium and athletic nudity were factors that fostered the Greek male sexual system of pederasty. Material culture in the form of sculpture, inscriptions, and vase paintings reflects the androcentrism of Greek sport. Female participation in Greek sport has a historical existence much less consistent and widespread than that of males, seen most prominently during the Roman empire.
