The papers in this volume focus on the study of a Panhellenic athletic event that lasted for nearly a millennium. An international assembly of scholars contribute to the discussion of the origins and the historical development of the Panathenaic Games in general and of individual contests in particular. The role of patrons in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, as well as the form and meaning of victory dedications and other monuments are also examined, making this a truly interdisciplinary study into this fascinating event. Two of the seventeen papers are in Greek.
