God, I love reading about hilarious Ancient Greek Drama

There was once a guy named Theagenes who was so good at every possible sport that when he died, his rival would beat the crap out of a statue made for him. One day, the statue fell, killing the rival, and then witnesses took the statue to court, convicted it of murder, and then threw the statue into the sea off a cliff

A plague then struck, and when people consulted the oracle at Delphi, she was like, "Well, you pissed off Theagenes..." so they went out to pull the statue out of the water.
