Chapter Six

Tis chapter detailed the importance of wrestling to the village. All of the villagers went to see the meet, it was as big to them as the kc moniteou game is to us. A lot of gossip was exchanged and people caught up with each other. It seemed like the social event of the season. The biggest things that excited people were the new style that a young boy used and the victory of one of the team leaders. It seemed to me almost as if the village had no other form of entertainment.
This chapter also showed us the oracle in her everyday life. I found it quite strange that she permitted herself to live among the common people. It would seem more reasonable that she would keep herself away to appear more mysterious. She just seemed like anyone else.
