Victory and Celebration traces how athletic success was transformed into broader social and political capital in ancient Greece--how being a good boxer, or having a fast son or good horses was made into something significant in society more broadly. It analyses the ways that the victory memorials--primarily the statues and victory odes produced for victors--gave winning athletes a wider importance beyond the stadium or hippodrome.
