The Iroan Games

Competitors seeking a place among the athletes of legend endlessly push themselves to claim victory during Akros's world-renowned annual contest, the I roan Games. The deeds of past victors set a high bar for those who follow.
In recent memory, the famed wrestler Lanathos bested all rivals and, after a day-long struggle, a wild Akroan bull. When the pankratiast Nymosyne had her contest interrupted by a cyclops attack, she threw her rival at the creature, then snapped the brute's neck with her bare hands.
Perhaps most dramatically, though, was the recent victory of the Akroan hunter Arissa. While waiting to claim her second place award, Arissa witnessed a Nyxborn bat creature snatch an infant from the crowd. The hunter threw her javelin an im possible distance, skewered the bat-thing, then caught the child as it fell. Collectively, the other assembled competitors gave Arissa their awards, and the hunter claimed her citizenship among the Akroan lektoi.
Who knows what legends will unfold during next year's lroan Games?
