Today, you may see English translations of aretas as "excellence." However, that is just a fraction of its true significance. In the Homeric Age, competition was the outlet for all other virtues - courage, loyalty, trustworthiness. The Ancient Greeks did not fear that competition bred immoral behavior. They believed that competition taught moral behavior. In the heat of battle, someone with aretas had proven himself to be a fearless opponent and brilliant strategist. Sports contests became a way to hone aretas in daily life. Thus aretas - attaining excellence through competition - became the supreme Grecian virtue.
