| Comment: | Euthykles was an honourable citizen of Lokri until he was accused of corruption and he was thrown into jail. At that time, a pestilence struck the city and the citizens released Euthykles with appropriate honours. The date is adduced by Moretti as follows: other athletes celebrated by Callimachus were also active in the same period; Lokri flourished around this time; two other Olympic victories from Lokri also had their victories around the same period. Hence, late 6th/early 5th centuries BC, Moretti opts for the 73rd Olympiad (= 488 BC). |
