in the texts
The Second Tetralogy
The athletic training ground where javelin practice took place and where the boy was fatally struck, serving as the setting for the entire case.
My son was struck in the side by a javelin thrown by yonder lad in the gymnasium, and died instantly.
For the lad—not from insolence or wantonness, but while at javelin-practice in the gymnasium with his fellows—made a hit, it is true, but killed no one, if one considers his true part in the matter:
Orations
The training and competition ground visited by the narrator.
And when we were near the gymnasium, we saw some men running outside on the course, and there was a shouting of those who cheered them on, and others training in other ways.
Sophist
Athenian place of physical and social training where Theaetetus and young Socrates are companions.
he is of my own age and my companion in the gymnasium, and is in the habit of working with me in almost everything.
Symposium
The athletic training space associated with oil, exercise, and free male pursuits.
but what of us who no longer exercise in the gymnasia?
The odour of the olive oil, on the other hand, that is used in the gymnasium is more delightful when you have it on your flesh than perfume is to women, and when you lack it, the want of it is more keenly felt.
