Biography

Kheilon was periodonikes in wrestling, eventually winning the above two Olympic titles, four at Isthmia, once or twice at Pythia, and three times at Nemea. Depending on the interpretation of ancient texts, he may have been periodonikes twice, depending on whether he won a second time or not at Pythia. Kheilon later died in battle, either at Chaeronea or Lamia (in 323 BCE) – it is also not certain.
