In the USA Today Bestseller, ‘Wolves of Croton - The Untold Story of Milo,’ which takes place in the 6th Century BC, author, John Abdo, gives a lot of attention to Diotimos, father to Milo of Croton. Research indicates that Diotimos was a great athlete himself, and what is written in this book goes into detail about Diotimos’ upbringing, in particular his fighting ability which won him many praises and favors.

Excerpt - “Recognizing him as a money- maker, the guards consistently had Diotimos fight slaves and non-citizens from other states. All of his opponents originated from varying lifestyles. He fought lumberjacks and quarrymen, carpenters and ironsmiths, stonemasons and seamen, hunters and herdsmen, bakers and farmers. All combatants proclaimed to own the superior fighting style, each one asserting that it was his technique which reigned supreme.

“..each man Diotimos fought possessed his own unique psychological characteristics, physical attributes, levels of attrition, technical adroitness, and tolerances to pain. The more Diotimos fought, the more he learned, eventually mixing various martial styles into a fluid athletic fighting art form unique to himself.

“… fighting in contests daily, up to ten matches in one day — all of which he emerged from victorious — the maturing teen earned the reputation of being the toughest slave fighter alive. And the more he was punched, kicked, slammed, and choked, the stronger, tougher, and more dexterous Diotimos’ body adapted to the violent attacks…”
