| Comment: |
Kreontidas is mentioned in Pi. N. 6.39-44 as some ancestor of the subject of the ode, Alkidamas. It is assumed on this basis that Kreontidas was also from Aigina, since his mention is in a praise of Alkidamas' family's victories. For the dating I follow Farrington (2012), no. 1.11 and p. 102-3 note 206, on the supposed dating of the poem as well as the assumption that Kreontidas might be Praxidamas' (Alkidamas' grandfather) brother, who was an Olympic victor in 544 B.C. - PK
Winner in boxing at Isthmia and Nemea. Brother to Praxidamas and Kalias (Pind. Nem. 6. 40-46.).
