The statue of Astylus of Crotona is the work of Pythagoras; this athlete won three successive victories at Olympia, in the short race and in the double race. But because on the two latter occasions he proclaimed himself a Syracusan, in order to please Hiero the son of Deinomenes, the people of Crotona for this condemned his house to be a prison, and pulled down his statue set up by the temple of Lacinian Hera. There is also set up in Olympia a slab recording the victories of Chionis the LacedaeCrotona for this condemned his house to be a prison, and pulled down his statue set up by the temple of Lacinian Hera. There is also set up in Olympia a slab recording the victories of Chionis the Lacedaemonian. They show simplicity who have supposed that Chionis himself dedicated the slab, and not the Lacedaemonian people.

Similar in renown to Chionis was Hermogenes of Xanthus, a Lydian, who won the wild olive eight times at three Olympic festivals, and was surnamed Horse by the Greeks. Polites also you will consider a great marvel. This Polites was from Ceramus in Caria, and showed at Olympia every excellence in running. For from the longest race, demanding the greatest stamina, he changed, after the shortest interval, to the shortest and quickest, and after winning a victory in the long race and immediately afterwards in the short race, he added on the same day a third victory in the double course.

The Eleans proclaimed Pheidolas the winner and allowed him to dedicate a statue of this mare. The sons also of Pheidolas were winners in the horse-race, and the horse is represented on a slab with this inscription :—The swift Lycus by one victory at the Isthmus and two hereCrowned the house of the sons of Pheidolas.But the inscription is at variance with the Elean records of Olympic victors.
