Orsippus

"[1][2] Others argue that it was Acanthus instead who first introduced Greek athletic nudity.

Orsippus won the stadion of the 15th Olympic Games in 720 BC.

Later, as a general, Orsippus conquered a neighboring territory for Megara,[2] which had recently become independent from Corinth.

This accomplishment is commemorated by an epigram inscribed on the base of his statue erected by the Megarians in obedience to a Delphic response.
