Eski Yunan Atletizminde Seyirci-Atlet Etkileşimi

Yazar makalesinde Phaselis’ten İ.S. 3. Yüzyıla tarihlenen agonistik bir yazıtttan (SEG 55, 1473) yola çıkarak, festivallerde seyircilerin tutum ve davranışlarını incelemektedir. Sporcu müsabakalarını izleyen seyircilere yönelik yazıtların oldukça az olması, edebi kaynakların daha ziyade sporculara, yarışmalara değinmeleri nedeniyle Antik Dönem’de sporseverlerin düşünce yapılarını ve davranışlarını anlamak güç olduğu için Phaselis yazıtı gibi kısıtlı sayıda yazıt bu nedenle önem arz etmektedir. Yazar, bu yazıt üzerinden berabere sonuçlanan müsabakalarda seyircilerin bu karar karşısında tutumunun nasıl olduğunu ve Antik Dönem atletizminde spor seyirciliğinde yansımaları tartışmaya sunmaktadır. Seyircilerin kendi kendilerine yarışmada alınan sonuçlara hüküm veremedikleri ama çoğunlukla da yarışmada görev alan memurların kararını etkilemeye, akıllarını çelmeye çalıştıkları bilinmektedir. Phaselis yazıtında da benzer durumlar çok büyük bir olasılıkla yer almaktaydı.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Spectator-Athlete Interaction in Ancient Greek Athletics

Taking SEG 55, 1473 as a starting point, this paper examines the evidence for draws and spectator behavior in Greek athletics. Even though spectators were usually demonstrative and at times even interacted with athletes, it was always at the discretion of the officials of a festival to award a joint victory. Spectator approbation was highlighted in agonistic inscriptions as a token of distinction for late antique victors.

Keywords:
