In ancient Greek wrestling 🏛️🤼, the back choke was one of the most efficient, common, brutal, and punishing submissions in the sport. The hold was brutal and intimate by its nature, considering both opponents always wrestled naked, and Greeks saw no contradiction between those two facts.
Forced face down, the bottom wrestler collapsed forward under the attacker's weight, while the top man rode him, chest to back, arm around the neck, pulling the head up and back into the choke. The attacker wrapped his legs around the opponent's body and locked the arm around the neck. From there, the choke was pulled up and back. The opponent carried the full weight of the attacker while being strangled, with no way to shed the load.
The oil made it worse for the man underneath. Sweat and oil made it easier for the arm of the top man to slide under the neck of the opponent. The legs kept the body of the bottom man on hold, and the choking arm worked against his neck.
Naked skin-to-skin contact and the constant friction of oiled bodies were the substance of the sport, and the erections athletes commonly produced were treated by Greeks as an unremarkable physiological 🍆 occurrence.
It was the most masculine arena Greek culture had, and everyone in it knew that. 🔥
