Book IX, 588

Even as thou seest, stranger, his stout heart in the bronze image, so Hellas saw the might of Clitomachus. For when he had put off the blood-stained cestus from his hands, he straightway fought in the fierce pancratium. In the third event he fouled not his shoulders in the dust, but wrestling without a fall won the three contests at Isthmus. Alone among the Greeks he gained this honour, and seven-gated Thebes and his father Hermocrates were crowned.
