(Original Caption) Olympic Games: The Victory of Death. The Spartan, Ladas, wins the great Olympic foot race and falls dead as the judges presented him with the palm of victory. This palm & a laurel wreath were the only direct rewards ever given to the victor but the honor in which he was held would make him thereafter a leading man in his city. BPA2# 3443
