Milo
A celebrated athlete of Crotona in Italy.
He is said to have carried on his shoulders a bullock for a considerable distance, and to have killed it with a blow from his fist, and eaten it in one day. In his old age he attempted to pull up a tree by the roots, which, when half-cleft, re-united, and, his hands remaining imprisoned in the tree, he was eaten by wild beasts, about 500 years before the Christian era.
