Oebotas of Dyme

Oebotas of Dyme, the son of Oenias, was an ancient Greek athlete from Dyme who won the stadion race in the sixth Ancient Olympic Games in 756 BC.

[1][2] The stadion race (about 180 meters) was the only competition in the first 13 Olympiads.

It was customary for Achaeans who were going to compete in the Olympics to make a sacrifice to him.

In addition, Oebotas's tomb could be seen in the vicinity of Dyme.
