Bajnok dinasztiák az ókori sportéletben
Champion dynasties in ancient sports

Summary/Abstract: A number of families can be identified in ancient Greek sports whose members were winners in the Olympic games or at other competitions of the Olympic cycle (periodos) through two or three generations. The author has already discussed this phenomenon in connection with short distance runners. This time he mentions cases from heavy athletics, particularly from fighting sports (wrestling, boxing, pankration) in which subsequent generations of certain families were successful in identical or similar branches of competition.
