HAP. IV PHYSICAL EDUCATION 153 ast to him of his diving,* During the blockade f Sphakteria by the Athenian fleets numbers of Helots swam over from the maintand to the island under watcn^ Scanty and scrappy as they are, these details show that swimming must have been taught ^to most boys, at any rate if they were ever likely to ^■erve in a fleet* Plato twice * uses a metaphor drawn ' from a man swimming on his backj showing that this method was known. When a young disputant is being severely han
...dled in a discussion, Sokrates intervenes, ** wishing to give the boy a rest, since he saw that he was getting a severe ducking and he feared that he might lose heart." * The phrase suggests that the sight of boys learning to swim was familiar. They could learn either in the innumerable creeks and bays of the sea, or in the lakes and rivers, or in diving-pooK* There were also various "gymnastic games" which young people played in the water together ; ^ but of their nature nothing is known.
It cannot reasonably be doubted that in the maritime states a large proportion of the boys, at any rate of the lower classes, were taught to row^ since each trireme required a crew of 200, nearly all of whom had to use the oar.
