Ancient Croton was home to Milon The Strongman, one of the most admired athletes who ever lived. Champion on 30 occasions at Olympic, Pythian and other festivals, in late middle age he met a tragic end. Legends vary as to events that day, but records kept by his estate tell the following. While walking alone on a country lane, he came upon an old tree which had fallen onto the path. Perhaps in a moment of nostalgia for feats of younger days, he tried to move the tree, but fell and was pinned under the weight. The great Milon's waning strength could not save him. Particularly sad, was that it happened just days before the birth of his beautiful granddaughter, Cylena. From this point forward our typical New World history books omit nearly all of Milon's legacy. But in the galleries and academies of Greece and Italy there are documents that tell much more. It is an honor indeed, for this writer to share them.
