Paios

Paios was the Pankration organizer of the 428 BCE Olympic Games in Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis, Greece.

Biography

During the 432 BCE Olympics, Paios took the Spartan pankratist Testikles out drinking. Following this, Testikles made advances on both Paios' wife as well as his brother; something Paios remembered even four years later.

When Pausanias of Sparta, one of the two kings of Sparta, set the exiled misthios Kassandra to secure that Sparta won the Olympics in 428 BCE, Paios welcomed the misthios to replace Testikles, after his untimely death at the jaws of sharks.
