Calippus, of Athens, pentathlete, fourth century. Calippus bribed his opponents at the Olympiad of 332. Caught, the other cheaters paid their fines. The Athenians, however, sent the famous orator Hyperides to Elis to plead for Calippus and, when he was rebuffed, boycotted the games. Finally, Apollo’s oracle at Delphi refused to respond to them until they paid up. The fine paid for six statues of Zeus (zanes).
