Arrachion (died c. 564 BCE), alternatively Arrhichion of Phigalia, was a champion pankratiast who participated in the Olympic Games during the 6th century BCE.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Born in the fishing village of Phigaleia, Arrachion gained immortality by winning the 564 BCE Olympic Games posthumously, after he'd been illegally suffocated to death by his opponent during a bout. Arrachion's corpse was then pronounced the winner in the aftermath.[1]

Influence[edit | edit source]

During the Peloponnesian War, a group of bandits set up their camp within the ruins of a racecourse, naming it after Arrachion.[2]
