The ancient Olympic Games did not include swimming, but the Greeks swam and held swimming in high regard. A big Greek insult would have been to say of another man he "neither knew how to run nor swim." Yet another source says that a definition of an uncultured person was "he learnt neither how to read nor to swim."
