Wrestling was a very important branch of athletics in the Greek games, since it formed the chief event of the pentathlon, or quintuple games (see Classical games). All holds were allowed, even strangling, butting and kicking. Crushing the fingers was used especially in the pancration, a combination of wrestling and boxing. Wrestlers were taught to be graceful in all their movements, in accordance with the Greek ideas of aesthetics. There were two varieties of Greek wrestling, the 7raXrt SpOn, or upright wrestling, which was that generally practised, and the aXivBrta's (KiAtuts, lucta volutatoria) or squirming contest after the contestants had fallen, which continued until one acknowledged defeat. It was this variety that was employed in the pancration.
