Games and toys were an important part of life for both children and adults in ancient Greece. Children enjoyed toys made from materials like wood, clay, and fabric that mimicked everyday objects and tools or represented mythological figures. Adults engaged in competitive sports like wrestling, foot races, and ball games at religious festivals to honor the gods. Board games like backgammon were also popular pastimes for both children and adults.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

‘Through the pleasure of games they learn’ wrote Plato in his book Laws
Playing had always been vitally important to Greek people, that’s why they used to bury their dead with their favourite toys and games believing that playing and gaming relaxes and entertains people even in Ades.
The first toy of an infant was the seistron (sistrum) or platage, known to us as rattle. It came in various shapes of people or animals and was used for keeping evil away.
The plaggones (dolls) often had movable limbs and were then called neurospasto (meaning puppet). In many cases they were naked, in order for girls to be able to dress them up. Plaggones from bone and clay have been found but cloth, wax and wood were also used.
Boys used to play with effigies of charriots drawn by horses, called athyrmata.
Another popular toy was the aiora (swing) and a variation, vrachionios aiora (the see-saw)
A popular game with boys were the charriots. They were either drawn by dogs or by the boys themselves. Also, they rode a cane or a stick pretending to be riding a horse.
The older boys of the gang played the eis omillan, namely teams. Having drawn a circle on the ground and standing on a specific point they tried to throw their knuckles in the circle. They had agreed beforehand upon having ten attempts. The winner got to draw the circle, decide on its diameter and the point of throw.
The gygx. Two holes are opened on a wooden, normally, discus, double thread is inserted, and after the discus is rotated, the thread is tightened or slackened. The sound produced reminds us of a bird, the iygga, namely the anteater, which the game was named after.
The yo-yo
Another movable toy is the yo-yo, as it is called nowadays. It consists of two terracotta discs decorated with circles and joined together with a small cylinder.
Another toy involving movement is the teetotum. The Ancient Greeks called it strombo and strovilos or rhombus (because of its shape) and vomvykia (because of the sound it produces while spinning).
Pentelitha.This game was for limitless participants. Each child had five pebbles near his feet. The players threw a pebble up in the air and had to pick up another pebble from the ground before catching it.
Krikilasia or wheel (modern-day hoop) was a very popular game. The hoop was often wooden and rolled after being hit with a stick.
The players nail a pole with a hole in the middle into the ground. They put a rope through the hole and two players tie its ends round their waist so that they cannot face each other. Pulling hard they try to make their opponent come close to the pole. This game can be played with more players tied to each end of the rope.
Tag-of-war
They blindfolded a child with a scarf and he said ‘ a chalki fly I will chase’ . The others replied ‘ you will chase it but you will not catch it’ and hit him with their belts until he caught another child.
Akinetinda. Once the players hear the cue they have to stay still in whichever position they are. The first to move is expelled from the game.
Apodidraskinda. A player closes his eyes and the others run to hide. The player opens his eyes and looks for them. Every time he finds a player, he must run back to his original place first or else he loses.
Kollavizein. A player covers his eyes standing up. Another player hits him and asks him with which hand he did it.
Jumping rope
Askoliasmos.The players jumped on an oiled, stuffed sack on one leg and tried to keep their balance.
Askolismos.They used to play several variations. They compete in
Who will jump farther on one leg
Who will achieve more jumps on one leg
A player chases the others jumping on one leg
Sphairiseis, namely games played with a ball. The ball was originally made of various threads and later on of leather strips stitched together and stuffed with hairs or feathers. It was soft and flexible.
The episkyros, a game played in ancient Greece since 2000B.C, is regarded as the forerunner of modern-day football. Other sports, like basketball, volleyball, polo, handball etc come from ancient Greece.
Aporraxis or anakrousia. The players hit the ball hard against the ground in order to make it bounce. Afterwards, they catch it to hit it yet again. The player who hits the ball the most wins. Sometimes they hit the ball against the wall and have to catch it before it hits the ground. This game is played by one or two players.
In another game, the boys threw the ball through the mouth of a vessel, something like modern-day basketball. The defeated had to carry the winner on his back. This was called ‘ephedrismos’.
The kerretizein (from the word Keras which means bat) was played with a bat and is the forerunner of field hockey.
Arpaston. A group of children or adolescents threw the ball up in the air and tried to catch it by jumping up pushing each other away.
Episkyros. The players formed two teams behind a line drawn on the ground with a skyron (pointy pebble), after which the game was named. The aim of each team was to throw the ball over the opponents hitting it hard. The opponents had to change its course and send it back. The winners got one point. The losers had to go through ‘ephedrismos’.
Ceramic plaque of the Archaic era found in Korinth. The depiction reminds us of modern-day baseball. The bearded man is holding a rod ready to hit something (apparently a ball) and a young man next to him is holding a ball.
