Activity 2: In the ancient Olympic Games the winner of each event was called the Olympionic. Instead of a gold medal, the winner had a palm leaf placed in their hands and a crown placed on their head to show that they were the winner. Arguably one of the most famous Olympionics was a man named ‘Milo of Kroton’. Use Google to research ‘Milo of Kroton’ and post three interesting facts about him on your blog.
1st fact
Milo of Kroton: was "the most illustrious of athletes
second fact
Born over 2,000 years ago in an ancient Greek colony of southern Italy
Third fact
He had so much strength that when a building collapsed he rescued his friends without letting them get hurt.
Great facts, Fiapo! I particularly like the third fact that you posted about Milo using his strength to protect his friends from a collapsing building. He must have been incredibly strong and very brave to shield his friends from a disaster like that. What is the bravest thing that you have ever done?
