Winter Learning Journey - Day 1

This is my first blog post for the winter learning journey. Since the theme is Olympics here are three interesting facts about Milo of Kroton.

1. One story tells of the wrestler saving the philosopher's life when a roof was about to collapse upon him and another that Milo may have married the philosopher's daughter Myia.
2. The date of Milo's death is unknown, but he reportedly was attempting to tear a tree apart when his hands became trapped in a crevice in its trunk, and a pack of wolves surprised and devoured him.
3. Milo was the subject of fantastic tales of strength and power, some, perhaps, based upon misinterpretations of his statues.

  1. Hi Zeba!

    I am so happy to see that you're participating it the holiday blogging programme again. That's fantastic! I am really looking forward to reading your blogs.

    I have already learned a great deal about Milo of Croton from your post above. It certainly sounds as though Milo was a very strong and capable wrestler. It is terrible to read that he reportedly died when attempting to tear a tree apart with his own hands. How tragic!

    I hope that you continue to learn interesting things by participating in this Winter Learning Journey programme. I'll see you online this holiday :)

    Cheers, Rachel
