Food in Sicily Students Re-enact Ancient Greek Games

The  Greek colonization of Sicily began in the 8th century BCE with the building of such cities as Siracusa in the south-eastern corner of the island. 今天, one of the most visited attractions in the hills above the modern city of Siracusa is the Parco Archeologico della Neapolis home to the Teatro Greco, 西西里最古老的希腊剧院, 和反罗马帝国, originally used for gladiatorial combats and horse races. 从五月到七月初, 16,000-seat theater puts on a spectacular season of classical Greek plays. 但是在5月17日, 2023, all the attention was on the Anfiteatro Romano and the fifth re-enactment of the Giocchi di Zeus Eleutherios, 古代奥林匹克运动会.

The revival of  the games is the work of Dr. 希瑟·里德, Scholar in Residence at the Exedra Mediterranean Center, and Professor of Philosophy Emerita at Morningside College in Iowa. Reid has published numerous books and articles in ancient philosophy, 体育哲学, 及奥林匹克研究. In the days before the re-enactment of the games, Food in Sicily students spent time at the Center fashioning costumes and olive branch crowns. They also had to decide whether to participate as athletes or judges.

On the morning of the re-enactment bet8九州登录入口 students gathered at the Teatro Romano together with students from the Liceo Gargallo, (a classical high school in Siracusa), and ITS Fondazione Archimede (a professional school providing training in tourism, 热情好客, and the cultural heritage of Sicily).  The games opened with a parade of student-athletes and judges followed by the inauguration ceremony with short speeches in Italian, 古希腊, 和英语. 

然后比赛开始了. Athletes competed in various races: the stadion, a short race; the the diaulos, double the length of the stadion; and the oplitodromos, a double-length race wearing a helmet and carrying a shield. The judges carefully monitor the races for any infringements of the rules and signal the winners by pounding their staffs on the ground. 在闭幕式上, the winners were crowned with laurels and poems of thanks were given up to Zeus.  One of the winners was Marco Messina, Exedra Center staff and on-site program coordinator for Food in Sicily.
