Gymnopaedia
The Gymnopaedia, in ancient Sparta, was a yearly celebration during which naked youths displayed their athletic and martial skills through the medium of war dancing. The custom was introduced in 668 BC,〔Paul Cartledge, ''Spartan Reflections'' p.102〕 concurrently with the introduction of naked athletics. ==Etymology== Gymnopaedia derives from the ancient Greek . The word ''Gymnopaedia'' is composed of (''gymnos'', "naked" or "unarmed") and "game" from (''pais'', "child, youth"). In Greek the plural form, , appears most often.〔Singular: see Plutarch, ''Moralia'' 208d.〕 Apart from "Gymnopaedia", modern transliterations/adaptations include "Gymnopaidiai" (mostly older translations of Greek texts, maintaining a plural form for the word), "Gymnopaidiae" (Latinized plural form), "gymnopedia", "''Gymnopaedie''" (in German), and "''gymnopédie''" (in French, or when referring to the Erik Satie compositions).
