Apoxyomenos (Greek—the scraper) represents a young man clean- sing himself with a bronze scraper, after athletic exercises, of oil, sweat, and dust. The marble statue is a copy of the bronze statue, well known in ancient times, by the Greek sculptor Lysippos (360-316 B.c.). Much has been written about this statue, but all concur in praising its beauty, and in admiring the Greeks, who, by means of their athletic sports and physical training, were able to produce human forms fit to serve as models for such sculpture. I have expressly chosen Apoxyomenos from among the many beautiful statues of antiquity to decorate the cover of my book because he is the embodiment of the contents of it: he is the Athlete cleansing and caring for his skin after exercise, and is thus the Tdeal towards which my book poitits. Under this pseudonym, generally abbreviated to Apor or Ap, T wrote for a number of years on Athletics in Danish papers. MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN DY THE STARHOPE PRESS LTD.
