Kleobis and Biton

Kleobis (Cleobis) and Biton (Ancient Greek: $Κλέοβις$ , gen.: $Κλεόβιδος$ ; $Βίτων$ , gen.: $Βίτωνος$ ) are two Archaic Greek Kouros brothers from Argos, whose stories date back to about 580 BCE. Two statues, discovered in Delphi, represent them.

The first known version of the story was described by Herodotus, where Solon tells Croesus, the King of Lydia, about the happiest person in the world.
