| Comment: | Mentioned in Pausanias 6.7.10, a man from Stymphalos, runner, victorious in the dolichos. The dating is based upon Farrington (2012), no. 1.25 and p. 109 note 226, who in turn based himself on the supposed dating for the career of the sculptor Pythagoras, who made the statue described by Pausanias. Moretti (1953), nos. 188 and 199 give two possibilities for Dromeus' two Olympic victories, viz. 484-0 and 460-56 B.C. - PK |
