We Hate Your Big Muscles . . .

‘We’ is in reference to the Sybarites, Peloponnesian Greeks who traveled to Magna Graecia in 720 BC and established the city-state of Sybaris. ‘Your’ is in reference to the other Peloponnesians who traveled to Magna Graecia 10 years later and established the city-state of Croton, a mere 25 miles south of Sybaris.

The close proximity between the two states fueled immediate animosity. Sybaris’ tyrannical ruler, Telys, ceaselessly unleashed smear campaigns intended to mock Croton, especially the achievements of Milo of Croton, the man with the biggest, strongest muscles in the world.
 
Possessing the strength to carry a bull, Milo is also revered as the Greatest Wrestler of antiquity, and a triumphant military Commander, as he lead the Crotonites onto the battlefield to face Sybaris.

The Sybarites were labeled as lazy, drunken, gluttonous, obnoxious people who spent great efforts to disparage Croton and the muscularity, size, strength, and athletic prowess of Milo.

This and other posted videos will reveal the toxic relationship between the two city-states and march you onto the battlefield for the famous ‘Battle of Sybaris.’
