A reputation without limits

“He handed out newspapers to their parents, some less recent and some more newly released. There is perhaps no better gift for people living in the wilderness. Newspapers were a very important part of our equipment, sometimes even the only interchangeable item.”

A winter walk in the Concord & Merrimack Rivers, Journal (1849) , Henry D. Thoreau

In this chapter, the publications that follow refer to the children of P. Coutalianos. As far as we are able to know, Panagis had many children. Around 1872 he married in Argentina a girl originally from Genoa, Italy. His wife’s name was Palmyra. With her he had five sons and one daughter, but there is a possibilitiy that he had also other children who died in the meantime, as happened very often in those times. Unfortunately, until now we have not been able to ascertain the name of his daugter. On the other hand the names of his sons are as follows: a) George b) Ellin or Hellen (means Greek) c) Francisco d) Antonio and e) John. John who was the youngest son, died at a very young age. He was still a minor when his father was imprisoned in Rhodes. The family could not bear the hardships and the little boy died of hunger and disease somewhere in Piraeus. His other four sons managed to survive and even become highly skilled athletes. In fact, all four seem to have made careers in America as wrestlers.

May 27, 1876. The comment ends with the question: Where is Bauer?
Coutalianos looks for opponents, but they all hide like mice.

(Αbove pics) 7th str. It is one of the locations where Coutalianos had set up his circus tent while he was in California. At this point the receipts were not satisfactory, so the athlete moved his troupe to another street, namely Montgomery street. There the number of spectators was much higher and Coutalianos’ performances became a point of reference.

1876. Coutalianos is in San Francisco. He fights and performs shows of strength in the Palace Amphitheater. Above we present an article with historical content related to this particular circus and an advertising post. This circus was located at the intersection of New Montgomery Avenue and Mission Street ( source: https://sanfranciscotheatres.blogspot.com/2021/06/palace-amphitheatre.html )

The Metropolitan Theater of Santiago in Chile (engraving from 1872). In this theater, Coutalianos performed when he was in that city. In the photo on the right we see how it is today after the reconstruction work.
The city of Mazatlan, Mexico. Coutalianos also passed through this place during his wanderings in Latin America.
“Iglesia (Church) de la compania de Jesus”. We have reasonable suspicions that this is the church where Coutalianos captured the wrestler Pindo when he lost his mind after his defeat. The church has a large parapet and balconies on the bell towers, which coincide with the descriptions given by the athlete himself in the newspaper “Aristophanes” about the specific incident.
Photo of the first Greeks who immigrated to Peru. The members of this community had admired Coutalianos up close and were very proud of him.

Article proving that famous US champions participated in fixed wrestling matches. Coutalianos in his biography confirms that several times they approached him to suggest that he participate in fixed matches but he did not accept. This fact made his opponents “hide like mice” when they heard the name “Coutalianos”, precisely because they knew well that this man was unbeatable.
(Above: Engraving showing landscape of Rio de Janeiro). Coutalianos found himself in Brazil in 1882. He had already toured all over Latin America accomplishing great feats and triumphs. He was already known as the strongest man in the world or as many called him “New Hercules”. The following are Brazilian newspaper reports praising the indomitable Greek wrestler at the time he was in Rio de Janeiro. (For the compilation of the publications that follow, we are very grateful to the Brazilian researcher Andrey Altoé)

Tangoes and gambiarras. This weapon yesterday at Recreio Dramatico, the Greek Hercule Antonio Panay and his son, the Serpent boy. Both artists performed admirably in both cases, provoking the most enthusiastic and spontaneous applause from the audience. Mr. Panay, at the time of firing the two cannons, was the victim of a disaster that could have brought regrettable consequences. One of his assistants, thoughtlessly, put fire in the ear of one of the pieces and he communicated to the little octopus he had in one of his hands, resulting in an explosion and Mr. Panay was left with his left arm badly burned. The show was enhanced by some artists from “Recreio” who performed the comedies: “Amor pro amnesias“. “Uncle Toquarto” is a comic scene by the actor “Vasques“.

A Greek Hercules. To Mr. Antonio Panay, who exhibited his athletic works the day before yesterday for the first time, before the São Paulo public, at the Gymnasio theater, no name could better fit than the one that serves as epigraph to this news. In fact, the Greek Hercules will rarely find a rival who can shadow him in the work he performs with extreme perfection and ease. A man of tall stature, with extraordinary muscular development, he also joins Mr. Panay, to these qualities, a strength that can be qualified without exaggeration, keeping the proportions of truly Herculean. Thus, it seems incredible that he can do a prolonged series of exercises with an iron bar weighing 200 pounds and which he throws, like a feather, from one hand to the other. The test to which Hercules subjects his phenomenal physical construction is no less admirable, when, after wearing iron shoes, carrying pendants around his neck and mouth weighing a large number of pounds, he still holds, in his raised arms, the aforementioned iron bar, in addition to two men standing on their shoulders. Thus loaded with power to surpass the simple imagination we have of human strength, Hercules walks from one side to the other on the stage, without showing excessive strength. Helping Hercules in his work is a boy, Antonio Panay Il, who was greatly applauded for the surprising exercises he carried out on the move. Those who enjoy this type of spectacle, and those who see it will be difficult to fail to appreciate Hercules Greco’s performance, we recommend the ones he intends to put on in the capital.

Theaters. The Greek Hercules Antonio Panay and his son, the snake boy, premiered on Wednesday at the Recreio Dramatico theater. They were warmly applauded for the strength exercises they performed admirably, demonstrating aptitude and great muscular development. Unfortunately, we have to record a small disaster due to the ineptitude of one of his assistants, who thoughtlessly, when fire reached the ear of one of the pieces, he communicated to the little octopus he had in one of his hands, resulting in an explosion and leaving the same Mr. Panay with his left arm burned. Comedies were performed by some artists from that theater: “Amor por amnesias” , The trio Torquato and a comic scene by the actor Vasques. The comedy by Dr. Moreira Sampaio (Full name: Francisco Moreira Sampaio, Pseudonym(s): Morsau, Sapolio, Sp. Birth: 1851 – Salvador, BA, Decease: 1901. Description: Doctor, imperial official, poet, journalist and playwright ), Os Doctocudos, is currently being tested. In the most theaters.- Repetitions.

The following article is signed by the distinguished Brazilian journalist EZEQUIEL FREIRE.

O Hercules Panay O sr. Antonio Panay dá hoje o seu segundo espetáculo. D’entre os varios Hercules o Sansões que andam a correr o mundo, mostrando a extraordinaria força de seus musculos, é talvez o sr. Panay o que mais merece esse titulo. É incrivel que possa haver homem de maior força muscular, e que a mostre em mais extraordinarios exercicios. Chamamos a attenção dos nossos leitores para o programma dos trabalhos que o sr. Panay fará hoje no theatro Gymnasio, e que foi distribuido.

O Hercules Panay Se o leitor viu por acaso nestes oitos dias passados ou se vir por estes cinco dias futuros, passeando nas ruas da capital, um homem membrudo, de pescoço tourino, de mãos enormes, cabeça pequena, olhos vivos, de phisionomia calma e bonanchona, tire o seu chapéo e saúde um dos mais genuinos representantes da força muscular humana. E mais, se quizer palestrar um pouco com um causeur jovial, que tem, como o Judeu Errante da legenda, percorrido uma grande parte do mundo, approxime-se, pergunte as Hercules como vae o seu pecurrucho Panay II e elle vos dirá:-muito bem; tem 7 annos incompletos e suspende com um só pulso o peso de 25 libras. Digno filho de tal pae!- Este, como os heroes antigos, maneja cors uma só mão uma enorme clava de ferro, que qualquer homem forte teria difficuldade em suspender com as duas; carrega sobre o hombro um canhão de 500 libras, sustentando debaixo do braço ao mesmo tempo um outro canhão de peso pouco inferior.Creio que se lhe fosse apprazivel mataria um cavallo, apertando-o entre as pernas, como o heróe da legenda, ou suspendelo hia do chão, segurando-se com uma das mãos a alguma argola pendente de qualquer aboboda, como Carlos XII da Suecia. Maior façanha conhecemos do moderno hercules que hoje está em S. Paulo. No Chile, este homem, de uma coragem incrivel, estrangulou um tigre pintado, em pleno espectaculo publico. Estava a féra em completa liberdade: Antonio Panay aparou-lhe o bote, segurou-a pela garganta com uma das mãos, estrangulando-a, emquanto a outra arrebentava-lhe o craneo a punhadas. O tigre morreu; mas, ao espirar, tinha entre os dentes e entre as garras, como attestados da furiosa luta em que succumbira, grandes pedaços da rija musculatura de Antonio Panay. Vem-se-lhe ainda hoje as fundas cicatrizes, no peito e no braço esquerdo. Quando se lhe pergunta porque não repete agora à façanha, o hercules responde com a sua grossa voz pausada e mansa:- Es que hey tengo mujer y hijos que vivem di mi trabajo o los quiero mucho. E’ facto psychico-physiologico, geralmente dotados de sentimentos brandos. A força e a bondade parecem perfeitamente equilibrados na organisação de Antonio Panay. Ao ver o gigante festejar as creanças, como um papá festeja um filho, tornar meiga a sua grossa voz para dizer-lhes phrases carinhosas, lembro-mo destes bellos versos de Guerra Junqueiro: * O molosso fiel de antigas eras,O nobre amigo da familia humana,Que estrangulava os tigres e as pantheras. Era um collosso de bondade indiana…tinha garras quo eram lanças. E todo se arqueava humildemente. Sob a mão pequenina das creanças. Antonio Panay é muito religioso; na con- sversação praz-se em fallar de Deus e da familia. Para quem o ouve é curioso o contrasto entre aquella poderosa força e os sentimentos ternos daquelle coração. Vendo-o, isolado, aqui, hospedo solitário no grande imperio hospitaleiro, sem um amigo, tive pena do collosso, e como lhe mostrasse sympathia: é o primeiro amigo que Deus me depara no Brazil disse, recordando as relações que deixara nos muitos paizes que tom percorrido, e ultimamento no Chile, onde os azares da guerra fizeram-lhe perder toda a pequena fortuna que havia ganho na sua peregrinação de 14 annos pelo mundo. Autonio Panay é de Athenas, da antiga patria do pensamonto humano; e, como o heroe grego vencido do Troya, anda a perigrinar, longe da sua. Ithaca, em procura da Peneloppe fugitiva, a sua pequena fortuna arrebatada pelos montoneros.

EZEQUIEL FREIRE

We translate the main points of the above text into English

 “I believe that if it pleased him he would kill a horse, holding it between his legs, like the hero of the legend, or suspending it from the ground, holding on with one hand to some ring hanging from some vault, like Charles XII of Sweden. The greatest feat we know of the modern Hercules that is now in S. Paulo. In Chile, this man, with incredible courage, strangled a spotted tiger, in the middle of a public spectacle. The beast was in complete freedom: Antonio Panay stopped her, held her by the throat with one hand, strangling her, while the other clobber his skull (broke her head) with his fists. The tiger died; but, when he breathed out, he had between his teeth and claws, as evidence of the furious fight in which he had succumbed, large pieces of Antonio Panay’s tough muscles. He still has deep scars on his chest and left arm.” EZEQUIEL FREIRE

At the Recreio Dramatico theater, the Greek Hercules Antonio Panay will be presented to the public the day before yesterday, showing off his strength skills. With how small the competition was, perhaps due to the night, which was lightening the rain, the artist did not fail to reveal himself to the spectators, as the most powerful of all we have seen in this age. It seems incredible that nature, without its whims, endows a human being with so much strength as that man, who is rightly called Hercules, demonstrated. He suspended enormous weights, and to finish, he threw two pieces that he held under his arms, one weighing 400 and the other weighing 500 kilos. First of all, an incident occurred, which could lead to serious consequences. On the occasion when one of the artist’s assistants caught fire in one of the pieces’ ears, he communicated with the fireball he had in his hand, causing an explosion and burning the left arm of Mr. Antonio Panay, who fortunately was immediately rescued by the doctors.
