Coroebus Triumphs: The Alliance of Sport and the Arts (edited by Susan J. Bandy)


The languid movements of an athlete are as fluid as the motions of a painter, or the feverish rush of a writer’s fingertips across their keyboard.  Coroebus Triumphs: The Alliance of Sport and the Arts is a collection of papers, which were presented during the summer of 1984, at what was referred to as The Coroebus Conference.  Scholars, athletes, and artists united in this singularly unique alliance of the arts and sports.
            The dalliance between the arts and sports is perhaps the longest known love affair, dating back centuries.  The ancient Greeks united the arts and sports what seems like a lifetime ago, yet the Coroebus Conference, and the papers that became the bold brain child of artists, scholars and sports enthusiasts, was a new sharing of knowledge and understanding of a beauty previously untouched upon.  Each party stroked the flame of interconnectedness between their given fields.
            Coroebus Triumphs:  The Alliance of Sport and the Arts is a reflection of the awe and knowledge that came from the fruit of those who met at the Coroebus Conference.  It offers the reader the opportunity to sink one’s toes into the convictions of sports and scholarly study, both in literature and the arts. Begin your own journey into the torrid affairs of the arts and sport by purchasing Coroebus Triumphs:  The Alliance of Sport And the Arts:
