Bibliography

General works in English which will be found of value are J. B. Bury’s “History of Greece to the Death of Alexander the Great,” E. A. Gardner’s “Handbook of Greek Sculpture,” T. G. Tucker’s “Life in Ancient Athens,” and K. J. Freeman’s “Schools of Hellas,” all four published in London by Macmillan & Co. Freeman’s chapter on Physical Education is the least satisfactory in his book, largely because of failure to distinguish between conditions at different periods, and taken alone would prove quite misleading.

The following special works are indispensable, and contain ample references to the older literature: E. N. Gardiner’s “Greek Athletic Sports and Festivals” (London, Macmillan & Co., 1910), and Julius Jüthner’s “Philostratos über Gymnastik” (Leipzig and Berlin, B. G. Teubner, 1909) and “Über antike Turngeräthe” (Vienna, Alfred Holder, 1896).
