The fame of the great boxer Diagoras of Rhodes was intimately, and uniquely, bound up with the fame of his children: for no other classical or archaic victor were his children so central to his own commemoration. This paper will explore that centrality, showing the extent to which Diagoras’ portrayal across all media — not only in epinician and sculptural dedications, but also in the oral tradition — was unique in emphasizing his status as a father, and seek to explain the choice. I will argue that the portrayal of Diagoras as a father, subject to the normal biological rhythms of life, signified a particular type of politics that favored networking and connections between cities, promoting, in particular, the synoecism of Rhodes’ three cities.

当运动胜利和残酷混血时：对对角线的记忆

伟大的拳击手罗得斯（Diagoras of Rhodes）的名望与他的孩子的名望紧密相关，而且是独一无二的：因为没有其他古典或古老的胜利者对他的纪念如此重要。本文将探讨这种中心性，表明Diagoras在所有媒体上的描写程度（不仅在Epinician和雕塑作品上，而且在口头传统上）在强调他作为父亲的地位方面是独特的，并试图解释这一选择。 。我将争辩说，迪亚戈拉斯（Diagoras）的父亲受正常的生物节律的刻画，象征着一种特殊的政治形式，它有利于城市之间的联网和联系，特别是促进了罗德斯（Rhodes）的三个城市的联合主义。
