Arrival of Coutalianos in Patras. His long-awaited performance in the Sakketo’s garden is announced.
The Garden of Sakketos in Patras, where Coutalianos gave his performances, was located behind the church of Pantokrator (pic. above).
July 18, 1884. Panagi’s doing have already started. The spectators were surprised by the performance of the athlete.
July 26, 1884. The above article is interesting. Its editor avoids pompous expressions and is content to inform his readers that to become a good athlete one needs only patience and training.
Postcard with the photo of Coutalianos. The photo is kept in the museum Al. Soutsou
Back view of the photo. “Purchased by Christos Kantzileris”, in Patras, July 17, 1888. I saw Coutalianos in Patras and he is truly the Hercules of the 18th century.
