funeral games of Patroclus(iliad) from a different perspective

The funeral of Patroclus is explained by Meriones Nar I am Moliones son Meriones, comrades of Idomeneus and homesick. Today, I found some "great fighters" were killed. His name is Patroclus or something else. In my opinion, everyone is ridiculous. The first Achilles said that everyone was outside so we were able to drive our tank around his body. Wow, this is the best way to show that we care about someone ... that is not the case. When I drove my own tank, everyone around me was mourning lamenting the loss of Patroclus.

One of the first recorded examples of organized sports betting dates back to the epic Iliad in the 8th century BC. In the book "Iliad XXII", Patroclus, one of the heroes, died, after which a funeral including "burial game" was held. These include tanks and boxing. Of course, it includes a bet, and since the history of Iliad can be traced back to the 12th century BC, it can be said that sports betting has existed for more than 30 million years. Prompt was displayed in the 8th century, the ancient Olympic Games began to take shape and was held regularly. Of course this is neither the first nor the last ancient sports festival, and these festivals are often related to gambling and even even the shadow of the problem. We know that betting is inseparable from the ancient Olympics It is a byproduct of the sports festival and soon became as big as the event itself.

Traditionally the history of the ancient Olympic dates dates back to 776 BC. ; But we know that the Greek sports game has a long history before this record date. Homer used most of Iliad's 23 rd for funeral games - real sports events - to commemorate his dead friends Patroclus. In Odyssey, competitive games are an important part of a welcome ceremony sponsored by Phaiakians for Odisys. Ancient games, of course, are very different from our contemporary competition. There are far fewer incidents and only free Greek men (sometimes boys) can participate in the competition. Without competition from the team, the pressure of personal achievement through public competition is related to the excellent ideals of Greece called Arete. Like modern athletes, successful men will acquire fame and honor (and often rewards) for themselves, cities and states.
