Your explication is also interesting because modern Western thought had two idealizations at two distinct times: Initially we had the Romantics...Egypt was held as the great society of which Europe was to aspire. Interesting thing was, Greek culture was looked upon as being capricious, emotionally laden, disordered... Then Greek thinking became the rational, the Logos to follow. From capricious and passion laden Greek ideals and thought turned to a well ordered Apollonian whole.
I say this because we can see Greek ideals and practices becoming relevant to the perception and application of a sport/combat enterprise like boxing.
