Orsippus ({{lang-grc-gre|Ὄρσιππος}}) was a Greek runner from Megara who was famed as the first to run the footrace naked at the Olympic Games and "first of all Greeks to be crowned victor naked."[1][2] Others argue that it was Acanthus instead who first introduced Greek athletic nudity. Orsippus won the stadion-race of the 15th Olympic Games in 720 BC. References1. ^W. Sweet. Sport and Recreation in Ancient Greece, 1987; p. 125.
