Kleitomachos (athlete)

Kleitomachos (Greek: Κλειτόμαχος, variously also transliterated Cleitomachus or Clitomachus) was a Theban athlete considered a formidable boxer.

Centuries later, Aelian praised Kleitomachos for his temperance, holding it to be the key to his athletic prowess.

In particular, he noted Kleitomachos' abstinence from sex, saying that he would even avert his eyes if he saw two dogs coupling.
