ABSTRACT
THERE is also another exercise for the young men. In accordance with certain rules they lead a dance out and back again holding bows, certainly using other equipment than in the sword dancing, but following much the same routine.1 Enclosing2 their bodies with bows or rings, they are first stimulated by soft singing of heroic feats, or with pipes or drums, and then go forward revolving in a circle; at the single voice of their supervisor, who is called the king, they dance back again.
