Great job with your fact finding, Shannon. Milo of Croton was quite an interesting man and a very famous athlete. It sounds like he won a number of Olympic crowns and also saved the lives of important people, like his friend Pythagoras. It is very sad to read that he died in such a tragic manner. From what I understand, he is remembered very fondly for his strength and bravery rather than for his tragic end.
Cheers, Rachel
