The archon was the chief magistrate in many Greek cities, but in Athens there were three archons, the archon eponymous, the polemarch (replaced in 501 BC by ten strategoi), and the basileus (the ceremonial remnant of the Athenian monarchy).
After 683 BC the offices were held for only a single year, and the year was named after the archon eponymous.
After 457 BC ex-archons were automatically enrolled as life members of the Areopagus, though that assembly was no longer extremely important politically at that time.

Located on a plateau overlooking Sicily's southern coast, Agrigento was founded as Akragas around 582 BC by a group of colonists from Gela, who themselves were the immediate descendants of Greeks from Rhodes and Crete.
The Greek poet Pindar (518-438 BC) described Akragas as "the most beautiful city of the mortals." Akragas' most famous citizen was the philosopher and scientist Empedocles (490-430 BC).

Dates prior to 999 are written as, for example, 0487-09-11 for September 11 in the year 487.
BC dates are offset by one in order to obtain zero-based dates, so -0487-09-11 is September 11 in the year 488 BC rather than 487 BC, as might be supposed.
The Long Now Foundation suggests that years should be written with five digits (ie 02003 for the year 2003) in order to avoid the Year 10,000 problem.

The fourth was a statue of the boxer Glaukos of Karystos, which was commissioned by his son (date disputed; Pausanias: VI.x.1–3 and Suidas on Glaukos).

A statue base signed by Antenor, son of Eumares, and indicating a dedication by Nearchos (perhaps the potter of that name who was working in the 560s BC) has been matched almost certainly with an outstanding kore found on the Acropolis of Athens in 1886 and hence called the Kore of Antenor (h.
The generally accepted date for the group is 510 BC (following Pliny: Natural History XXXIV.xix.70), although the years after 488 BC have also been suggested.
Resemblances between the Kore of Antenor and the architectural korai of the Archaic Temple of Apollo at DELPHI (?after 510 BC) have led to an association of Antenor with the latter project.
