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.

Amazing video by Adrian Smith (North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences) of various parasitic flies taking off. Some provide views of the halteres, too, which move as if they were still wings. #insects #flies #diptera #halteres #biology #flight #wings https://www.instagram.com/p/DImi1nlybaj/
