| has gloss | eng: Agon (Classical Greek ) is an ancient Greek word with several meanings: *In one sense, it meant a contest, competition, or challenge that was held in connection with religious festivals. *In its broader sense of a struggle or contest, agon referred to a contest in athletics, chariot or horse racing, music or literature at a public festival in ancient Greece. *Agon was also a mythological personification of the contests listed above. This god was represented in a statue at Olympia with halteres (dumbbells) in his hands. This statue was a work of Dionysius, and dedicated by a Smicythus of Rhegium. *In Ancient Greek drama, particularly old comedy (fifth century B.C.), agon refers to the formal convention according to which the struggle between the characters should be scripted in order to supply the basis of the action. |
