ABSTRACT

Trainers played an immensely important role in ancient sports. Yet, they often disappear in the descriptions of great athletic feats in epinician poetry, the poems of praise that celebrated great athletes in the ancient world. This paper examines the manner in which trainers fade from epinician narrative and argues that their disappearance may have to do with the nature of the body and the role of trainers and physicians in the Greek world. Admitting the importance of trainers might challenge the notion that the greatness of athletes stemmed from birth and breeding. The fact that trainers sold their services as commodities would exacerbate this.

在医师和运动员之间：Epinician诗歌中的教练概念

摘要

培训师在古代体育中起着极其重要的作用。然而，它们经常消失在附庸诗人对伟大运动成就的描述中，赞美诗赞扬了古代世界的伟大运动员。本文研究了培训师从附庸主义者的叙述中消失的方式，并认为培训师的消失可能与身体的本质以及培训师和医师在希腊世界中的作用有关。承认教练员的重要性可能会挑战这样一个观念，即运动员的伟大源于出生和繁殖。培训师以商品形式出售其服务的事实将加剧这一情况。
