| Comment: | This athlete's story is interesting: according to Pausanias, people from Chairon's hometown are not praising him for his prestigious victories (they won't even say his name), because he had overthrown the city's constitution (πολιτείαν), for which he was made the city's tyrant by Alexander the Great. |
