Theiaios is the subject of Pindar's 10th Nemean Ode. I follow Farrington (2012), no. 1.38 and p. 113 note 247 for dating, based on the dating of the poem and an estimated average career span of 15 years. It is said he was a wrestler, and victor in many different contests, enumerated on lines 22-8 of the poem. A Pythian, three Isthmian and three Nemean victories as well as 2 victories in what is according to the scholiast an Argive contest, the Heraia (or Hekatomboia). Pytho instead of Delphi though technically the same. Age category not specified. - PK
Theaios, son of Oulias, won three victories at Nemea (Pind. Nem. 10.28), three at the Isthmus (Pind. Nem. 10. 26) and one at the Pythia (Pind. Nem. 10. 25). He also won two victories at the Great Panathenaia (Pind. Nem. 10. 34-35) and at the Hekatomboia in Argos (Pind. Nem. 10. 24). For the date of the ode,it is suggests that it was written after the performance of the Supplices of Aeschylus, probably of 463 BC (Cannatà , 2004, 97-99). Theaios probably competed in Olympia closely after the poem was written. - EK
