Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper argues that the activity of equestrian tumbling (“acrobatic” feats on horseback) in Archaic Greece held elite connotations and that the participant was represented as a warrior–athlete. An early Panathenaic amphora (Paris, BN, 243) depicts an armoured figure standing on horseback, but it is debated whether his action occurs in an agon. A survey of other such acts in art and literature provides comparative evidence for the figure’s symbolism. An association with elites, heroes, and warfare is consistent throughout the survey. The possibility of an agon in equestrian tumbling is contextualized at the early Panathenaia.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
