The Gymnic art was divided into two parts, dancing and
wrestling. In Crete they had the armed dances of the Curetes; at Sparta
they had those of Castor and Pollux; at Athens the armed dances of
Pallas, which were extremely proper for those that were not yet of age
for military service. "Wrestling is the image of war," said Plato "Laws,"
vii. He commends antiquity for having established only two dances, the
pacific and the Pyrrhic. See how the latter dance was applied to the
military art, Plato, ibid.
