Milo was a six-time Olympic victor. He won the boys' wrestling (probably in 540 BC), and thereafter five men's wrestling titles between 536 and 520 BCE. ... To intimidate his opponents, Milo of Croton would consume raw bull's meat in front of his adversary and would drink raw bull's blood for energy and vitality. According to legend he was attempting to tear a tree apart when his hands became trapped in a crevice in its trunk, and a lion surprised and devoured him.
