By 708 BC, the pentathlon was a major feature, the five events being the military skills of javelin and discus throwing, wrestling, jumping and running.
For several centuries all the events took place on a single day, but in 472 BC they were spread for the first time over several days, with a grand ceremony at the end during which victors were given their prize, a wreath of olive leaves from the sacred grove of Zeus.
In a play by Aristophanes, set in the 420s BC, a man asks his son to read him a Pindaric ode, and the boy chooses one that celebrates a victory 40 years earlier.

 CSAD Newsletter No. 10
Although the archon's name Euthynus appears twice in the decree and we know that Euthynus was an archon in 426/5 BC, until recently this was not considered to be the date of the decree because the consistent use of a three-barred form of sigma in the inscription seemed to indicate an earlier date.
For this reason I have re-examined the letterforms used in 5th (and early 4th) century Attic inscriptions, paying particular attention to the letterforms of numeral signs for staters and the flexibility of usage of some letterforms such as nu and upsilon with a stem, where clear changes are hard to recognize.
The date of the decree seems to fit better in the 420s BC when Ionic orthography began to be common in Athens.

Pheidias, the son of Charmides, was an Athenian born around 495 BC, according to the best evidence available (Richter, 227).
Each one of [the structures], men thought, would require many successive generations to complete it, but all of them were fully completed in the heyday of a single administration" (Richter, 215).
With construction of the Parthenon having been underway for nine years and with six still to go before completion, Pheidias unveiled his chryselephantine statue of Athena the Protectress in 438 BC to the acclaim of his benefactor and the city.

The Macedonians enter our historical picture with the Persians wars at the end of the 6th Century and beginning of the 5th Century BC through the writings of Herodotus.
Although the Macedonian cavalry later during this period wore breastplates (Thucydides) charge vigorously (at Olynthos in 382 BC) and adopted the xyston as their primary weapon, cavalry during the earlier period (from coin reliefs) wore petasos hats and cloaks and carried two throwing spears.
Therefore, the Kn elements should be regraded to Cv at least prior to the 420s.
