Nudist topless native dancers

Description:Mixed gender bathing was banned. A few writers have insisted that the athletic nudity in Greek art is just an artistic convention, finding it unbelievable that anybody would have run naked. Performing naked certainly was also welcome as a measure to prevent foul play, which was punished publicly on the spot by the judges often religious dignitaries with a sound lashing. The Greeks credited several mythological figures with athletic accomplishments, and male gods especially Apollo and Heracles , patrons of sport were commonly depicted as athletes. Nude swimming in rivers or lakes was a very popular tradition. Other athletes then emulate him and the fashion is born.
