Py'theas
(
*Puqe/as), 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.
