Note

This is from the Danchos Monument at Delphi. The statue stands at 2 meters in height. Agias, the subject, was the grandfather of Daochos II, who dedicated the monument, and was a highly successful wrestler at the Panhellenic festivals. The inscription at the bottom of the base states, "You are the first from the Thessalian land to be victorious in the Pankration at the Olympic games, Hagias son of Aknonios, from Pharsalus, [having been victorious] five times at Nema, three times in the Pythian games, [and] five times at the Isthmus; and no one yet has dragged the trophies from your hands." This work is currently held at the Delphi Archaeological Museum, Greece.
