Wrestling (pale) was upright, where one had to throw one's opponent to the ground. There were no rounds; the contest continued until one of the contestants had gained three falls. All-in wrestling (pankration) was decided by a submission, which the beaten contestant signalled by raising his hand with the index finger extended. . . .The contestants for both styles of wrestling rubbed themselves down with oil and sprinkled fine sand over their bodies before a fight. The ground had to be carefully prepared for wrestling. There are innumerable vase paintings showing athletes with the picks they used to break up the ground. . . .. . . The pankration was by far the most popular event with the crowd. Many of the top contestants became professional wrestlers.–The Ancient City, Peter Connolly and Hazel DodgeUse the drop-down menus to select whether each description belongs to pale, pankration, or both.
