"excellent...fascinating background reading for anyone planning to watch Athens 2004"
Review
A scholarly yet accessible text; history and myth intertwining. (The Guardian Review )
Spivey gives a good survey of the Olympics, well informed and concise, but not unopinionated. (New York Review of Books )
Spivey's prose is always full of flavour and The Ancient Olympics must rank as one of the most enjoyable and intelligent books about the ancient Greeks currently on the market. (James Davidson, Daily Telegraph )
