Hysmon (Greek: Ὕσμων) was an #AncientGreek pentathlete from #Elis. As a boy, he began to practise the #pentathlon as a cure for #rheumatism. He won this contest once in the #OlympicGames and once in the #NemeanGames, but was excluded from the #IsthmianGames as an Eleian. He also competed in the #pankration, and won an Olympic victory in this event. His statue in the #Altis at #Olympia, representing him as holding old-fashioned #halteres, was the work of #Cleon.
