A humorous retelling of the wondrous and bizarre story of the famous boxer and pancratiast . Theagenis from Thassos (5th century BC), who had won over one thousand laurel wreaths in contests all over Greece. Ever since he was a child, everyone admired Theagenis for his strength. He also had character flaws: he was arrogant and he always wanted to win. The first time he participated at the Olympics, he was drawn to fight his childhood friend and rival, Kleon. The funny thing is that this rivalry continued until both men were in their old age and led to the absurd exile of the statue of Theagenis. Thus, the hero of the island of Thassos was forced to watch the fish go by.
