In a few weeks, the heir to one of the worlds greatest fortunes, David de Rothschild, will set sail

In ancient societies, athletics and especially competitive contact games always have been rough, but
aggression in the past was tempered by an insistence that playing hard, playing to win, did not countenance
playing to cheat and to hurt. One of the very first nations that expressed athletic ideals were the Greeks. As
enunciated by Pindar, the athletic ideal incorporated courage and endurance with modesty, dignity, and fair-
mindedness, those elusive qualities the Greeks called Aidos. As sports became more specialized, the general
populace increasingly withdrew into spectatorship. Sports history reveals that although Greek sports had
increasingly marred by corruption and bribes, nonetheless they flourished in an era which witnessed the
rapid expansion of stadiums and arenas under the Roman Empire.
During the Roman Empire, violence in sports became the generally accepted principle and
spectators not only endorsed it, but also embraced it as a social norm.
