Italy. In addition to his statue at Olympia by Pythagoras, mentioned

set up in Lokroi in honor of this victor.’ According to Kallimachos, 
both statues were struck by lightning at the same time. Other writers 
tell wondrous tales of this boxer.® 
10. Theagenes, son of Timosthenes, of Thasos, one of the most 
famous Olympic victors.’ Besides his statue at Olympia by Glaukias 
of Aegina (VI, 11.2 and 9), Pausanias says that he knows of many other 
places in Greece and elsewhere where images of this victor were set up

as to a god (VI, 11.6). The story which he tells about this Thasian 
statue being scourged and falling on the enemy of Theagenes is also 
recounted at greater length by Dio Chrysostom® and is mentioned by
