The geometrical definition of pi is the ratio of the circumference of
a circle to the diameter.

Pi is used to find the circumference (pi

multiplied by diameter).

Although the Greek mathematician

Archimedes is known as the originator of
Pi, the ratio of circumference to diameter
was determined by other ancient
civilizations. However, Archimedes was
the first to calculate the value of Pi
theoretically.

The Greeks took games of all kinds very seriously, but especially physical athletic
competition. The Greeks believed that their gods particularly loved to see strong, fit,
graceful human bodies, especially boys' and men's bodies. So one way to get on the good
side of the gods was to exercise, to eat right, to oil your skin, to create a beautiful body that
the gods would love. Because of the Greek tendency to turn everything into an agon, a
competition, this also meant that there were a lot of athletic competitions in Greece. The
most famous of these is the Olympic Games, but there were other games held in other
places as well, like the Isthmian Games at Corinth. Young men (from richer families who
didn't have to work) in most Greek cities spent a lot of their time training for these
competitions, and the best of them were chosen to compete against the best young men
from other cities. Then they would all meet, at the Olympic Games or the Isthmian Games
or elsewhere, and compete for prizes and for the favor of the gods. Of course these games
also served as good training for the army, because all these men would be soldiers as well.
The events were the same kind as in the Olympics today: running, jumping, throwing a
javelin, and throwing a discus. Only men could compete.
Greek boys also played games which were not part of the Olympic games, like field
hockey. Greek boys usually played games without their clothes on (and so girls were
not allowed to watch). Greeks were much less interested in physical activity for girls.
(Girls from Sparta were said to exercise naked, but Athenian girls wore clothes).
Greeks also played less active games like dice and marbles, and knucklebones, and
checkers. Even in these games, though, the competition was very important, and
there was a feeling that losing at games meant that the gods didn't like you.
