In his pamphlet TheGreeks, the British classicist Kitto described the protagonist in The Odyssey as follows: "He is not only a great warrior, but also a resourceful strategist and a clever speaker. He is full of courage and intelligence; He can build a ship and sail it; He plays boxing, wrestling and running with young people wearing sports hats; He can peel, chop and cook cows, and he will be moved to tears for a song. In fact, he is an outstanding almighty, and his outstanding ability is unparalleled. "

If life is a playground, then the Greek ideal is to be an all-around athlete. In daily life, Greeks attach great importance to physical exercise, and men often get together to engage in various types of labor. In their view, the perfection of body, morality and intelligence is unified and inseparable. Therefore, they take exercise for granted.
