Article: Lejkowit "Poet as Athlete"

Lejkowit, Mary. Journal of Sport History, Vol. 11, No 2 (Summer 1984), 18-24.

Initially I thought this might be relevant as a crossover discussion about poets and athletes in ancient Greece. It is not. Instead, it focuses largely on Pindar's odes and the comparison Pindar makes in his odes between his writing or writing of poetry and athletics.

Possible use as an example or crossover in aesthtetics or imagery, but much more literary focus than I think I need.

There are a number of references to specific odes and those could be useful in tracking down specific writings.
