Following the Spartan victory in the Peloponnesian Wars (404 BCE), which curtailed the wealth, optimism, and originality of the Athenians, and the subsequent subjugation by Alexander the Great in 335 BCE, the sports industry responded to a Greek desire for heroes in a society where political independence and creativity were no longer possible.
Although, the resistance implied in the Neo-Gramscian theory is not overt, the movement of the elite from athlete to spectator and the assumption of the role of athlete by the lower classes, illustrates the synthesis which often results from conflict.

 Spartan hegemony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The period of Spartan hegemony is a moment in classical Greek history that extends from the end of the Peloponnesian War in 404 BCE to the battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE.
In the resulting war (431 - 404 BCE), the Athenians were defeated, through rebellions by the subject peoples of their Aegean empire, their over-dependence on naval strength (as against Spartan strength on land) and, especially, massive Persian funding of the Spartan war effort.
In 404, the victorious Spartan commander, Lysander, re-made Greece and Greek Asia Minor (formerly under Athenian rule) in Sparta's image: he established Spartan garrisons around the Aegean, installed decarchies (ten-man oligarchical regimes) to administer the internal affairs of the Greek city-states and appointed harmosts (Spartan military governors) to oversee the decarchies.

Greek drama was born, according to modern scholars' best conjectures, in 534 BCE at one of the many annual festivals honoring Dionysus.

In 431 BCE, however, Athens was plunged into the endless Peloponnesian War against Sparta and the Spartan Allies.

 Redating the Building of the 'Second' Temple by Diana Edelman
The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 586 BCE by the Neo-Babylonians, who made Judah into the province of Yehud, and it was not rebuilt until sometime after the Persians conquered the Babylonians and became the new masters of the ancient Levant (538-333 BCE).
We either can presume that the author of Nehemiah has used early sources naming individuals that he has inadvertently moved later in time and wrongly associated with Nehemiah, or we can accept the results to signal that the dates for the rebuilding of the temple or for the rebuilding of Jerusalem are incorrect (chapter 1).
This situation would be consistent with the claim in the book of Nehemiah that Sanballat/Sinuballit was active during Nehemiah’s assignment to Jerusalem, where the latter oversaw the rebuilding of the city walls and the repopulation of the city between years 20 and 21 of a King Artaxerxes.

 Plato, “Allegory of the Cave” (360 BCE)
Some philosophers have embraced Plato’s ideas and opinions wholeheartedly and others have rejected them entirely, but every major philosopher in the Western tradition has, at some point, grappled with Plato and the body of ideas that he left behind.
As a young man, Plato was a friend and admirer of Socrates (470-399 BCE), the Athenian “lover of knowledge,” (the literal translation of “philosopher”) who held it as his moral duty to question everything, and everyone, and to devote himself to the pursuit of truth.
His execution in 399 BCE deeply affected Plato, whose Apology is the best account that we have of Socrates’ trial.
