| Comment: | Introduction of pugme at Olympic games; Onomastos was the first victor. Eusebius and Iulius Africanus as well as Philostratos state that Onomastos has created the rules of the game for pugme. However, IvO 174 suggests this was done by a certain Polydeukes (the god?). For discussion, see IAG, pp.86-87 |
