Iliad and even though his presence is brief, it's important because he personifies unheroic, even antiheroic features, and these are represented in his appearance.

Grasp for physical art and attractiveness as is evidenced in many passages
in his epics. Hector desired to fight with Achilles and die young and attractive
instead of dying old and horrible.9 Tyrtaios believed that:
whose head is white and beard grey, exhaling his powerful soul into the dust
clutching his bloody genitals in his hands: his flesh nude.

that the Minoan athletes exercised in the nude. The close arty ties of Crete with
the Cyclades, in general, and Thera, in particular, appear to acquire the approval of
many writers. The recent excavations of S. Marinatos throws awesome light upon the
relationship of Crete with Thera in prehistoric times. Numerous objects of artwork
found on the island of Thera demonstrate the links with Crete were very close. An
impressive fresco from Thera, found in 1970, and outdated 1500 B.C.,
represents two kids boxing. Marinatos is of the opinion that this fresco is "the
Earliest existing example of art representing the actual human body of a child's body."12
Each kid wears one boxing glove on his right hand, and a blue cap upon which
curls of short and long hair are seemingly attached. Both youngsters, between eight
and ten years of age, wear loincloths. So Minoan Crete and the Cyclades offer
no remedy to the problem of the origin of nudity in Greek sport.
Mycenaean and Geometric Greek art certainly reveal that games in honour of
dead heroes were a common practice among the Greeks. Mycenaean, Geometric, and early Archaic warriors (Fig.4) are sometimes represented as exposed
in the parts below their breastplate. This exposure is particularly noticeable
during funeral games and other religious ceremonies for the deceased. On three tall
limestone slabs (stelai), found at Mycenae and dated 1600 B.C., are represented
Chariot races. All three stelai are decorated with chariot scenes. There is We all have friends, some are close friends, some are acquaintances. Perhaps you are friends with a society or an organization that does not mean you understand them personally. You're only associated with that specific organization. (Fig.5) for each chariot and all three chariot motorists are nude and
These chariot-races were held as part of the
funeral ceremonies for a chieftain, and therefore, were considered suitable subjects
for ornamentation of stelai erected over graves. The so-called Silver Siege Rhyton

In the same scene a nude warrior comes hurrying past them. Additionally, the Siege
Rhyton shows six collapsed nude men, who could be interpreted as the dead.13
A fragment of Mycenaean chariot krater from Enkomi (Cyprus) (Fig.6)
depicts a nude standing man figure who holds two variously interpreted
Items in his hands; in front of the nude guy there is a robed male figure who
wears a sword; in this composition small vases have been set in the field; in
front of the robed man there's a two horse chariot within which there are two
robed figures. It is often presumed this scene depicts a funeral ceremony
Dipylon vase. The latest interpretation of this scene by M. I. Davies is


that the naked figure "may well be an ordinary athlete with what in classical
times were two of his common attributes: a pickaxe and either a pointed
marking position or strigil." Davies considers that this interpretation "would cast
some light upon the old-fashioned transmission of fit customs and equipment from the Mycenaean into the classical span."14
