Lycinus
Family: Lacedæmonian · Role: horse-breeder · First appears: Book 6 · Chapter 2
At Olympia, Lycinus brought colts, but one was rejected; he then entered the race of full-grown horses with his colts and won. Myro set up two statues there, and Cleon made a statue of Lycinus, a native of Heræa who had won the race for boys.
Later, the Athenian people set up a statue to his son Aristophon after Aristophon defeated all competitors in the Olympic pancratium. Icasius is also named as Lycinus’s son.
