The Naked Olympics: The True Story of the Ancient Games

We know the Olympics began in ancient Greece but what were the Games like for the athletes and spectators? Acclaimed author Tony Perrottet takes a deep dive into days gone by to reveal the effort that went into organising the Games and keeping 40,000 spectators entertained. There was the round the clock bacchanal inside the Olympic village; the male nude workouts under the statue of Eros; and the corruption scandals involving athletes. Peppered with scandalous cameos by sports enthusiasts Plato, Socrates, and Herodotus, The Naked Olympics offers a humorous, entertaining insight into the roots of the modern Games and an unforgettable guide to the world’s most influential athletic event.
