Gymnasium (ancient Greece)
The gymnasium in Ancient Greece functioned as a training facility for competitors in public games. It was also a place for socializing and engaging in intellectual pursuits. The name comes from the Ancient Greek term ''gymnós'' meaning "naked".
Athletes competed nude, a practice said to encourage aesthetic appreciation of the male body and a tribute to the gods. Gymnasia and palestrae (wrestling schools) were under the protection and patronage of Heracles, Hermes and, in Athens, Theseus.〔Pausanias (geographer), ''Guide to Greece,'' 4.32.1〕
==Etymology==
The word ''gymnasium'' is the latinisation of the Greek noun γυμνάσιον (''gymnasion''), "gymnastic school", in pl. "bodily exercises" and generally "school"〔(γυμνάσιον ),
Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus project〕 which in turn is derived from the common Greek adjective (''gymnos'') meaning "naked",〔(γυμνός ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus project〕 by way of the related verb γυμνάζω (''gymnazo''), whose meaning is "to train naked", "train in gymnastic exercise", generally "to train, to exercise".〔(γυμνάζω ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus project〕 The verb had this meaning because one undressed for exercise. Historically, the gymnasium was used for exercise, communal bathing, and scholarly and philosophical pursuits. The English noun ''gymnast'', first recorded in 1594,〔''Oxford English Dictionary''〕 is formed from the Greek γυμναστής (''gymnastēs''),〔(γυμναστής ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus project〕 but in Greek this word means "trainer" not "gymnast". The ''palaistra'' was the part of the gymnasium devoted to wrestling, boxing and ball games.
