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.

On November 28th, 67 CE, Nero declared Greece free from taxes, a move that cemented his favour with the Greeks.
