Translation: When this man was working on the land, it happened that the ploughshare fell out of the plough, and he fitted it back [using] his hand instead of a hammer. Seeing what had happened his father took him to
Olympia to box. Having no experience, he was hurt by his opponents and was on the point of flagging because of the blows. The story goes that his father shouted "strike the plough blow!"[1] So Glaukos attacked the opponent more strongly, and victory was his. The statue [of him] depicts a shadow-boxer, because Glaukos was supremely good at sparring.[2]
