 Theocritus Bion And Moschus Rendered Into English Prose by Theocritus eBook by BookRags
The Bebryces cheered their man, and on the other side the heroes still encouraged stout Polydeuces, for they feared lest the giant’s weight, a match for Tityus, might crush their champion in the narrow lists.
There was fierce fighting when he arose again, and they bruised each other well, laying on with the hard weighted gloves; but the champion of the Bebryces was always playing on the chest, and outside the neck, while unconquered Polydeuces kept smashing his foeman’s face with ugly blows.
The giant’s flesh was melting away in his sweat, till from a huge mass he soon became small enough, but the limbs of the other waxed always stronger, and his colour better, as he warmed to his work.

 The Pugilist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
There is a hypothesis, which in many respects seems valid, that originally the statue was not that of a single athlete but the dominant figure in a group of three.
In that case, the statue was a representation of Amycus, king of the Bebryces, who as a pugilist has been in a bout with the divine Pollux, a superb boxer.
The two figures to whom Amycus has raised his head would have been The Dioscuri: Pollux and his twin brother Castor.

 Was Atlantis a Phoenician city? - Atlantis Rising
The result of this is what we now call Greek.
Call them Minoans, Aegeans, Pelasgians, Barbaroi, Bebryces, Palasat, Messenians, Euboeans, Chalchidic, Cycladic or what you will, but please do not just call them Greek.
To simplify this, it is better to choose a constructed word like Evans did: Minoans.
