Aelian, Varia Historia (2, 28), berichtet:
Μετὰ τὴν κατὰ τῶν Περσῶν νίκην Ἀθηναῖοι νόμον ἔθεντο ἀλεκτρυόνας ἀγωνίζεσθαι δημοσίᾳ ἐν τῷ θεάτρῳ μιᾶς ἡμέρας τοῦ ἔτους.

After their victory over the Persians the Athenians passed a law that the state should organise cock fighting in the theatre one day each year.
How this law originated I will now reveal. While Themistocles was leading his military force against the Persians he saw some cocks fighting. He did not look on idly, but halted his troops and said to them: "These birds are not fighting for their country or their fathers' gods; they are not enduring pain to defend the tombs of their ancestors, their reputation, freedom, and children;
ἀλλ' ὑπὲρ τοῦ μὴ ἡττηθῆναι ἑκάτερος μηδὲ εἶξαι θατέρῳ τὸν ἕτερον
each of the pair aims to avoid defeat and not to yield to the other."
These words gave strenth to the Athenians, and so he wanted to retain, as a reminder for similar occasions, the symbol of courage seen by them on that day.
