The ancient Greeks kept gezegde

 The ancient Greeks kept women athletes out of their games. They wouldn't even let them on the sidelines. I'm not sure but that they were right.
  Avery Brundage

 “Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn’t see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.
Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will.
At least the ancient Greeks were being honest.”
  Chuck Palahniuk

 The ancient oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing.
  Sokrates

 Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are.
  Anne Bradstreet

 During the games when we'd play, you'd see the women coming off the sidelines, holding babies and putting them down to bat. And then, hearing all of those different languages was neat.

 Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight.
  Marilyn French

 I didn't think we'd shut them out, but I thought we could contain them if we played physical inside -- and we did. Coach (Toby) Tabor had the defense ready to go. We have a lot of good athletes out there, and we've got good athletes on the sidelines, too. Our depth is one of our strong points.

 An amazing journey. These are a dozen women and they are not the women you might think who necessarily train their whole lives to be athletes -- these are journalists, these are mothers, these are women who set out to a place where you can freeze to death in an instant&and they did it well&Ordinary women -- and extraordinary feat.
  Diane Sawyer

 I sometimes wonder if the hand is not more sensitive to the beauties of sculpture than the eye. I should think the wonderful rhythmical flow of lines and curves could be more subtly felt than seen. Be this as it may, I know that I can feel the heart-throbs of the ancient Greeks in their marble gods and goddesses.
  Helen Keller

 GORGON, n.

The Gorgon was a maiden bold Who turned to stone the Greeks of old That looked upon her awful brow. We dig them out of ruins now, And swear that workmanship so bad Proves all the ancient sculptors mad.
  Ambrose Bierce

 MEANDER, n. To proceed sinuously and aimlessly. The word is the ancient name of a river about one hundred and fifty miles south of Troy, which turned and twisted in the effort to get out of hearing when the Greeks and Trojans boasted of their prowess.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

 I think the biggest issue is that men historically have had opportunities to start developing competitive skills at a very young age, whereas most women didn't. So a lot of women athletes missed out on the opportunity to work out all those complex emotions that happen in fierce competition. Rather than genetic differences, I've found that the real differences go away when males and females have equal competitive experiences beginning at a young age. That's happening more in our culture, and no question the top women athletes of the future are going to be just as tough and focused as the top men.

 Women athletes have the ability to serve as role models for women and girls throughout the world. I am excited to attend the World Economic Forum to explore ways in which the global community can continue to support athletes? ability to help create positive social change.

 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: / But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; / But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
