Boedromion (
Epidauria): The cult of
Asclepius is introduced at
Athens. • The young and popular
Alcibiades is elected "
Strategos" (one of a board of ten generals) and begins to dominate
Athenian life and politics. A Quadruple Alliance of
Athens,
Argos,
Mantineia and
Elis, which has been organised by Alcibiades (in opposition to
Nicias) confronts a
Spartan-
Boeotian alliance. • Around 420 BC, Spartans were excluded from participating in the Olympic Games due to their ongoing conflicts with other Greek city-states, violating a peace treaty. This exclusion was part of a broader effort to maintain the peaceful atmosphere of the games.
