Untitled
[edit]In Featured articles candidates it came up that this article would better go through Peer review first. The FAC template below therefore is obsolete. I leave it here (for the time being) because Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Gymnopaedia contains valuable comments at the outset of the Peer Review procedure.
- Hi, Frances. I just archived the FAC nomination (after consulting Raul about it on IRC). The "Comment on that page" link in the template—the same link as you give above—still leads to the FAC discussion, though, so I hope it's not a problem. Bishonen | Talk 23:57, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The connection between the Spartan gumnopaideia and Satie's gymnopedies is really so tenuous that I think they should be split up. Bacchiad 19:49, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Split-up completed, see also gymnopedie disambiguation page. --Francis Schonken 11:18, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Female nude wrestling?
[edit]Okay, the article's gone, so I guess it doesn't need a link... but when did that happen? I didn't even notice a vote for deletion going on, I had it monitored.... Tyciol 17:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Etymology
[edit]Paul Cartledge, of Cambridge University, on page 59 of his book The Spartans translates Gymnopaedia as "unarmed dancing" rather than "naked". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dyersgoodness (talk • contribs) 02:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
contradiction about weather conditions and timing
[edit]Section Time and Date says:
- The Spartans would have partaken in the festival from dusk until dawn each of these days. ... The festival took place at the hottest time of the year in Sparta, which meant most of the activities happened under very harsh sun.
Obviously one of these, from different sources, has to be wrong, unless they refer to different periods (years) or other circumstances. In fact, the seasonal climate would be a very good reason for nighttime celebration, especially including energetic dancing.
