Greetings to you all My name is Esseneto and I am an Akragas Olympic champion. Many think that I am a legend, but there are many historians who speak of my triumph. For four Olympics in a row, in fact, I won the “stadion” race, the race that was worth the entire games, also gaining the right to light, four times, the sacred Olympic fire and thus becoming, in 412 BC, the most famous athlete of the whole of Magna Graecia. Upon my return home, I was welcomed as a great hero. Akragas celebrated my triumph with great celebrations and paying me great honors. Just think that, to allow my triumphal entry, accompanied by three hundred chariots and twelve hundred white horses, a large gap was even created in the city walls. Even today I receive tributes in modern Agrigento, the municipal stadium was named after me.
