What is "agasides"

Agasides an athlete from Halicarnassus, alive in ancient times.

Having won a bronze trophy at the Doric hexapolis league games of Tropium, he did refuse to dedicate it to the statue of Apollo as was the custom, these games being held for the honour of Apollo. He chose instead to place the trophy on the walling of his place of abode, an act which caused discontent amongst some in Dorian cities, resulting in the excommunication of Halicarnassus.
