Iccus (Ikkos), of Tarentum, a distinguished athlete and teacher of gymnastics.
Pausanias (vi. 10.2) calls him the best gymnast of his age, that is, of the period
about Ol. 77, or B. C. 470; and Plato also mentions him with great praise (de
Leg. viii., Protag.; comp. Lucian, Quomodo Hist. sit conscrib. 35; Aelian, V.
H. xi. 3). He looked upon temperance as the fruit of gymnastic exercises, and
was himself a model of temperance. Iamblichus (Vit. Pythag. 36) calls him a Pythagorean,
and, according to Themistius (Orat. xxiii.), Plato reckoned him among the sophists.
