Abstract
This study (a) argues that admittance of foreign entrants was characteristic not only of the Big Four athletic festivals of the periodos, but a general characteristic of Greek athletic festivals and (b) submits that this openness was the product of the Greek tradition for interaction across city-state boundaries and, finally, (c) argues that the openness of the athletic festivals was a prime producer of interaction in the Greek city-stateculture.
