To most spectators, the games are all about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. However, in "Racing Towards Perdition: The Questionable Spiritual Foundation Of The Contemporary Olympiad", social theorist and cultural analyst Dr. Frederick Meekins examines a number of the ideas embraced by the influential elites organizing these prominent athletic spectacles and the worldview those pulling the strings behind the scenes at such global venues hope to promote. It is not the intention of Dr. Meekins to discourage the discerning from viewing these festivities but rather to equip the concerned so that they might be better able to detect that which is often hidden in plain view.

Of Lycurgus The Lawgiver We Have Nothing To Relate That Is Certain And Uncontroverted. For There Are Different Accounts Of His Birth, His Travels, His Death, And Especially Of The Laws And Form Of Government Which He Established. But Least Of All Are The Times Agreed Upon In Which This Great Man Lived. For Some Say He Flourished At The Same Time With Iphitus, And Joined With Him In Settling The Cessation Of Arms During The Olympic Games. Among These Is Aristotle The Philosopher, Who Alleges For Proof An Olympic Quoit, On Which Was Preserved The Inscription Of Lycurgus's Name. But Others Who, With Eratosthenes And Apollodorus, Compute The Time By The Succession Of The Spartan Kings, Place Him Much Earlier Than The First Olympiad. Timaeus, However, Supposes That, As There Were Two Lycurguses In Sparta At Different Times, The Actions Of Both Are Ascribed To One, On Account Of His Particular Renown; And That The More Ancient Of Them Lived Not Long After Homer: Nay, Some Say He Had Seen Him. Xenophon Too Confirms The Opinion Of His Antiquity, When He Makes Him Contemporary With The Heraclidae. It Is True, The Latest Of The Lacedaemonian Kings Were Of The Lineage Of The Heraclidae; But Xenophon There Seems To Speak Of The First And More Immediate Descendants Of Hercules. As The History Of Those Times Is Thus Involved, In Relating The Circumstances Of Lycurgus's Life, We Shall Endeavour To Select Such As Are Least Controverted, And Follow Authors Of The Greatest Credit.
