Eurybus of Athens
Eurybus of Athens ((ギリシア語:Εὔρυβος Ἀθηναῖος)) was an ancient Greek athlete listed by Eusebius of Caesarea as a victor in the stadion race of the 27th Olympiad (672 BC).〔Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Chronicle'' ()〕〔Sextus Julius Africanus, ''Chronographiae: The Extant Fragments'' p. 199 () ]〕 His name is also referred as ''Eurybates''〔Dionysius of Halicarnassus ''Roman Antiqutities'', 3.1.3 ()().〕 or ''Eurybotos''〔Pausanias ''Description of Greece'', 2.24.7 ()〕 and possibly ''Eurybotas'' elsewhere in Pausanias, both of the latter two have been anglicised to "Eurybotus" by editors, although elswhere the distinction is preserved.〔William Smith, LLD, ed., Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, "Eurybotus" (G. E. Marindin, London:1849) ()〕 He was the second winner from Athens preceded only by Pantacles.
Eurybus was quite possibly the noted discobole ''Eurybotas'' depicted on the Chest of Cypselus, which was left as a votive offering at Olympia and was still visible there centuries later and subject to a detailed description by Pausanias. He does not explicitly say that this discus-thrower ''Eurybotas'' is the same as the runner ''Eurybotos''; however, the transcriptions of named personages on the chest as given by Pausanias show Doricisms and traces of having been rendered in the epichoric Corinthian alphabet.〔James George Frazer, ''Description of Greece: Translation with a Commenatary'', vol. 3, ''Commentary on books II-V'', (Macmillan: New York, 1998), p. 601 ()〕 Pausanias reports a legend that the infant Cypselus was hidden in the chest during an assassination attempt and later took his name from it (as the Corinthians called these chests ''kypselai''); however, Cypselus's childhood (he died in 627 BC after a thirty-year reign begun when fully adult) coincides with the known date of Eurybatos' stadion victory. But Pausanius does not explicitly connect them, saying merely that whoever Eurybotas is, he is throwing the discus.〔Pausanias 5.17.10 ()()〕 Frazer compares Pausanias description of the chest to extant examples of Corinthian art and dates the chest to the 7th-early 6th century BCE. The depiction is one of the earliest known of a genre that would later be adapted to statuary, the most famous of which is the Discobolus of Myron and its copies.〔William Smith, LLD, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities'', "Discus" (G. E. Marindin, London:1854) ()〕
Dionysius of Halicarnassus calls the race-winner ''Eurybates'', says that the contemporaneous eponymous archon at Athens was Leostratus, and uses his Olympic victory to date the accession of Tullus Hostilius as King of Rome after the death of Numa Pompilius.〔
