Koroibos' body in his tomb

Koroibos of Elis (fl. 8th century BCE), alternatively Coroebus of Elis, was an Elean cook, baker and athlete who won the stadium race in the first recorded Olympic Games in 776 BCE.

After his death, he was buried in a tomb located northwest of Olympia, on the border between Elis and Arcadia. During the Peloponnesian War, his tomb was visited and explored by the Spartan misthios, Kassandra.[1]
