minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish24•edit-21 month agoIt’s pretty much correct (well, except the medal; maybe a wreath of celery or pine, but he competed in the Isthmian games, not the Olympics). His real name was allegedly Aristocles. Plato was his wrestling nickname (and does indeed mean broad, referring to his physique). He believed that physical exercise was an integral part of a proper education, and applied that principle to himself.
