Activity 2:
In the ancient Olympic Games the winner of each event was called the Olympionic. Instead of a gold medal, the winner had a palm leaf placed in their hands and a crown placed on their head to show that they were the winner. Arguably one of the most famous Olympionics was a man named ‘Milo of Kroton’ (see picture below). Use Google to research ‘Milo of Kroton’ and post three interesting facts about him on your blog.
Answer: I did my research on Milo of Kroton and I found these three interesting facts about this Hero.1. Firstly, I found out that Milo of Kroton was a 6th Century BC wrestler from the Magna Craecian city of Kroton. 2. He also enjoyed being a brilliant wrestler and won most of his victories at most important athletic festivals of ancient Greece.3. Lastly, it was sad that the date of his death was unknown.
Great job with your research, Anthony! You have discovered three really interesting facts about Milo of Kroton. He was certainly a very famous wrestler and won many, many matches (and awards). He was also rumoured to be incredibly strong. Did you know that he once saved the life of a man who was inside a crumbling house by racing in and holding up the roof of the house with his bare hands? That is pretty amazing, isn't it?!
