This 10 Drachma postage stamp from Greece (ΕΛΛΑΣ) depicts a classical Attic black-figure amphora illustrating ancient Greek athletes engaged in pankration or wrestling. The detailed artwork is inspired by 6th–5th century BCE pottery, showcasing the athletic tradition central to Greek culture and the ancient Olympic Games.

Issued as part of a 1960 Olympic-themed series, the design combines Hellenic heritage with modern philately, linking Greece’s ancient sporting spirit to the revived Olympic movement. The inclusion of the five interlocking Olympic rings symbolizes the continuity of this global sporting legacy.
