Interesting thought. Do you have scientific support for this theory?

No, I would be laughed at and probably thrown tomatoes at for saying this but I really do believe this

Philosophers and Emperors... probably not.  Yet, the same time, athletic contests back then were no joke.  Ancient Greece had its celebrity athletes -- see Polydamas of Skotoussa and Dioxippus for examples of very famous ancient strongmen/wrestlers.



Wow they had MMA back then too!



Pankration (/pæn.ˈkreɪti.ɒn/ or /pæŋˈkreɪʃən/) was a martial art introduced into the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and founded as a blend of boxing and wrestling but with scarcely any rules. The only things not acceptable were biting and gouging of the opponent's eyes. The term comes from the Greek παγκράτιον [paŋkrátion], literally meaning "all powers" from πᾶν (pan-) "all" + κράτος (kratos) "strength, power".[1]

Lifestyles were a lot hasher back then, the spartans were known for their brutal physical regimen, their nutritional habits were different and the food was not processed the same way, I doubt they had a ronnie or jay culter type back then but it is likely that many guys were in good shape for survival depended on it
