The Naked Olympicsis a quick and cinematic read that brings an ancient tradition to life with colorful writing. Unlike many other books available on the Greek Olympics that are marketed towards children, Tony Perrottet’s approach does not shy away from gritty details and adult themes. Perrottet is an author and avid traveler with a history degree and has published a number of popular books related to both history and travel. His writing style is immersive, jovial, and, at times, even comical. It is clearly his goal to entertain, as he often makes comparisons between the ancient Olympics and a modern-day festival.
