Description

Milon of Kroton The most famous Olympic winner in wrestling was Milon from Croton, with six victories (540/532/528/524/520/516 BC). He was a pupil of the philosopher Pythagoras. There are many stories about the strength of Milon, which he developed by lifting a calf every day, until became a bull. It was said that he lifted a bull, which carried two rounds in the stadium of Olympia and later killed him and ate him alone. When he became an Olympic winner and made him his statue at Olympia, he lifted it and placed it in its base, even though it was weighting more than two thousand pounds. ------------------------------------------------- A personal tribute to the greatest of all Olympic wrestlers of all times. Except his unique power, Milon was very educated and a philosopher too. Thanks for viewing & hope u like this picture & the story. Kostas.
