Sphaerus

Sphaerus was the charioteer of Pelops, and in this position it is obviously appropriate for him to have a name that derives from sphaira, 'ball', 'sphere', referring to the wheels of his chariot. (He could, however, have been a sportsman, even a boxer, from sphairomacheo, 'to box', literally 'glove-fight'.)
