Diaulos (balap lari): Perbedaan antara revisi

Panjang setiap lomba lari beragam tergantung dari panjang stadion.<ref>Gardiner p.136</ref> Hal tersebut berbeda karena satuan panjang [[Pous|kaki Yunani]] sangat bervariasi dari satu tempat ke tempat lain, misalnya stadion di [[Stadion di Olympia|Olympia]] sepanjang 192,27 meter tetapi di [[Stadion di Delfi|Delfi]] panjangnya 177,50 meter.<ref name="Sweet p.27">Sweet p.27</ref> Para ahli memperdebatkan apakah setiap pelari memiliki tonggak "belok" atau tidak untuk babak kedua perlombaan, atau apakah semua pelari mendekati tonggak yang sama, berbelok, dan kemudian berlari kembali ke garis awal.<ref>Miller, p. 32. "The first addition to the Olympic program was the ''diaulos'', or double-stadion, race in 724. This race, the functional equivalent of the modern 400-meters, is difficult to identify on the vase paintings, because the runners' gait is similar to that of stadion runners. By comparing runners whose knees are slightly lower than the others' (contrast the knees in figures 3 and 11 with those in figure 30), we may be able to distinguish between the two events. The only depiction of the diaulos of which we are certain, however, is on a fragment of a Panathenaic amphora labeled, "I am a diaulos runner"."</ref><ref>Golden, pp. 51-52. "''Diaulos'', "double pipe" (see ''AULOS''), one of the regular events at Greek competitive festivals. The ''diaulos'' was a footrace two lengths of the STADIUM (400 Greek feet) – up in lanes marked out by lime or gypsum, counter-clockwise around a post (''KAMPTËR''), and back in a parallel line. According to tradition, it joined the Olympic programme second, in 724; the first winner was HYPENUS of Pisa. Only men ran ''diaulos'' at Olympia, Isthmia and Nemea. At the Pythian games, however, it was on the original programme for both ''paides'' and men. ''Diaulos'' runners needed to be stronger than sprinters but lighter than ''HOPLITE'' racers (who ran the same distance, in armour); however (according to Galen), even a champion would be slower at this distance than a gazelle. Unchallenged by gazelles, some ''diaulos'' runners enjoyed success over many years: an Argive won at Olympia four times running (208-196), a feat matched and surpassed by LEONIDAS of Rhodes (164-152, adding victories in ''STADION'' and race in armour as well). Double victories in ''stadion'' and ''diaulos'' were not uncommon. The term is also used for a horse race of two lengths of the Greek HIPPODROME."</ref> Meskipun di Delfi, sebuah prasasti merujuk pada "berbagai tonggak belok" sebagai lawan dari hanya "tonggak belok", yang menunjukkan bahwa setiap pelari memiliki tonggak beloknya sendiri, untuk mencegah pelari luar kehilangan 3-4 meter.<ref>Gardiner p.137</ref> Tonggak itu disebut ''kampteres''.<ref> name="Sweet p.27<"/ref> Bukti arkeologis di [[Nemea]] juga menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tonggak-tonggak belokan setiap atlet.<ref>Sweet p. 30</ref>
