U Health sinh thr Anrirnt Cbrrrka REEK fmythology tells us that in the golden age mankind lived unacquainted with cruel diseases. Historically this is untrue, yet the Greeks were an extremely healthy people. They were deeply religious, and because they believed that a perfectly developed and agile body was pleas- , ing to the gods, they observed the laws of health more strictly than any other ancient people. Hygeia, the goddess of health, was held in great veneration by the ancients. Her statue was placed in the Acropolis by the side of Pallas Athena, goddess of wisdom. She was represented holding a cup of nature in one hand and a serpent---emblem of health-in the other. The Greeks, While displaying simplicity and taste in their dress, at the same time modeled their costumes in accord with the laws of health. Hats were rarely worn. The robes were usually made of linen and were loosely draped upon the body, so as to allow it perfect freedom of movement. Sandals or light boots protected the feet, but in no way bound them. l f LOU ELLA ATKINS Tate County These people also ate very simple food which consisted principally of figs, fresh cheese, wheaten porridge, asparagus, green vegetables, all kinds of fruits, olive oil, ducks, and quails. Confectionery was forbidden and wine might only be taken in mode- rate quantities. In Sparta, the state regulated the eating by instituting public meals. The Greek was no sluggard. He went to bed early, and before sunrise was dressed and ready for the street. His leisure hours in the early morning were spent in the open, talking to his friends in the streets, or riding in the country. After the noon meal, he always enjoyed his nap during the heat of the day. Late in the afternoon, he visited a gymnasium, where there were grounds for many sports. He also frequented the theater, a favorite place of amusement. This was built on the- side of a hill, and the performances took place in the open air. Education formed a very important part in Greek life. He believed in a well rounded education. In order to produce a healthy race, the girls were given the same kind of physical exercises as the boys. One of the chief exercises in the gymnastic schools and at sports, was jumping. Along with this, running, quoit-throwing, wrestling, and boxing contests were common. Great honor accompanied the crowning of the victor with laurel wreath. Thus we see that the ancient Greeks were fresh air fiends. Their religious festivals, out door pageants, their social recreation, their educational games and con- tests-all were carried on in the out of doors. In fact living thousands of years later, we are just beginning to profit by their example, and as a result we have now our Y. M. C. A. gymnasia, college stadia, open air theaters, field day sports, inter-collegiate athletics, and Olympic games. LOU ELLA ATKINS. 1
