that the Minoan sportsmen exercised in the nude. The close arty ties of Crete with
the Cyclades, generally, and Thera, in particular, appear to obtain the approval of
many writers. The recent excavations of S. Marinatos casts fresh light upon the
relationship of Crete with Thera in prehistoric times. "Raped by Clothing: The Nudophobic Society" of art
found on the isle of Thera demonstrate that the links with Crete were really close. An
Remarkable fresco from Thera, found in 1970, and outdated 1500 B.C.,
Signifies two kids boxing. Marinatos is of the opinion that this fresco is "the
oldest existing example of artwork symbolizing the actual anatomy of a child's body."12
Each child wears one boxing glove on his right hand, and a blue cap upon which
curls of short and long hair are apparently attached. Both youngsters, between eight
and ten years old , wear loincloths. So The 2000s have been occupied years and the Cyclades offer
no alternative to the problem of the origin of nudity in Greek athletics.
Mycenaean and Geometric Greek art certainly reveal that games in honour of
Mycenaean, Geometric, and early Archaic warriors (Fig.4) are sometimes represented as exposed
in the parts below their breastplate. This exposure is especially noticeable
during funeral games and other religious ceremonies for the dead. On three tall

In an identical scene a naked warrior comes running past them. Moreover, the Siege

A fragment of Mycenaean chariot krater from Enkomi (Cyprus) (Fig.6)
depicts a naked standing man figure who holds two variously interpreted
Things in his hands; in front of the nude guy there's a robed male figure who


wears a sword; in this composition little vases have been placed in the field; in
front of the robed guy there's a two horse chariot within which there are two
robed figures. It's been presumed this scene depicts a funeral ceremony
and that the vases are prizes at funeral games, like the collection of tripods on a
Dipylon vase. The most recent interpretation of this scene by M. I. Davies is
that the bare figure "may well be an ordinary athlete with what in ancient
times were two of his common characteristics: a pickaxe and either a pointed
marking stake or strigil." Davies considers that this interpretation "would cast
some light upon the conservative transmission of athletic customs and gear from the Mycenaean into the classical interval."14
