I read a book in year 6. Its based in ancient greece (i think, thereabouts anyway) It was about a guy whose family got struck by some disease/plague. His father arranges to have him shipped out. The captain of the ship is an athlete who competes in the Greek Olympics. I remember the first time the boy sees him, the captain is doing like 100 pushups, then he does another 100 with each arm (like one handed). The boy and captain become good friends. On the way, pirates capture em, and one thing leads to another and whaddya know? in the olympics, the captain (friend of boy) and the captin of pirate vessel reach finals of boxing (?). Boy accuses pirate of being a pirate, and after some consulting and some evidence, boys word taken and pirate captured.
Thats the rough storyline anyway. Can anyone help? I think it was called something like triathlon. Something like that, thats what i remember in my fog distorted memory. Its a teenaged novel.
