Pytheas
Πυθέας
(Πυθέας), historical.
1. The son of Lampon, of Aegina, was a conqueror in the Nemean games, and his victory is celebrated in one of Pindar's odes (Nem. v). He is in all probability the same as the Pytheas who distinguished himself in the Persian wars [No. 2], since we know that the latter had a son of the name of Lampon.
