Sentences with XYSTOS (5)
This kind of colonnade is called among the Greeks [Greek: xystos], because athletes during the winter season exercise in covered running tracks.
They were three in number--the "Xystos," with its avenues of plane-trees, its plethrion or wrestling-place, its altars to Heracles, to Eros and Anteros, to Demeter and Kore (Cora), and its cenotaph of Achilles; the "Tetragonon," appropriated to boxing exercises; and the "Maltho," in the interior of which was a hall or council chamber called Lalichmion after its founder.
The word “xystos” is not generally used, but it is doubtless the English form of the Greek word ξυστὁς, from the verb ξὑωξὑω to smooth, polish, or work delicately.
These athletic guilds were called Xystoi from the xystos or covered colonnade which formed part of a gymnasium.
The Ionic pillars which formed the colonnade (περίστυλος) of the xystos are of poor and late workmanship, and seem to have replaced an earlier Doric colonnade.
