<P> While a martial truce was observed by all participating city - states, no such reprieve from conflict existed in the political arena . The Olympic Games evolved the most influential athletic and cultural stage in ancient Greece, and arguably in the ancient world . As such the games became a vehicle for city - states to promote themselves . The result was political intrigue and controversy . For example, Pausanias, a Greek historian, explains the situation of the athlete Sotades, </P> <P> Sotades at the ninety - ninth Festival was victorious in the long race and proclaimed a Cretan, as in fact he was . But at the next Festival he made himself an Ephesian, being bribed to do so by the Ephesian people . For this act he was banished by the Cretans . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="3"> Events at the Olympics </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Olympiad </Th> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Event first introduced </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1st </Td> <Td> 776 BC </Td> <Td> Stade </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 14th </Td> <Td> 724 BC </Td> <Td> Diaulos </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 15th </Td> <Td> 720 BC </Td> <Td> Long distance race (Dolichos) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 18th </Td> <Td> 708 BC </Td> <Td> Pentathlon, Wrestling </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 23rd </Td> <Td> 688 BC </Td> <Td> Boxing (pygmachia) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 25th </Td> <Td> 680 BC </Td> <Td> Four horse chariot race (tethrippon) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 33rd </Td> <Td> 648 BC </Td> <Td> Horse race (keles), Pankration </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 37th </Td> <Td> 632 BC </Td> <Td> Boys stade and wrestling </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 38th </Td> <Td> 628 BC </Td> <Td> Boys pentathlon </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 41st </Td> <Td> 616 BC </Td> <Td> Boys boxing </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 65th </Td> <Td> 520 BC </Td> <Td> Hoplite race (hoplitodromos) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 70th </Td> <Td> 500 BC </Td> <Td> Mule - cart race (apene) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 93rd </Td> <Td> 408 BC </Td> <Td> Two horse chariot race (synoris) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 96th </Td> <Td> 396 BC </Td> <Td> Competition for heralds and trumpeters </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 99th </Td> <Td> 384 BC </Td> <Td> Tethrippon for horse over one year </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 128th </Td> <Td> 266 BC </Td> <Td> Chariot for horse over one year </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 131st </Td> <Td> 256 BC </Td> <Td> Race for horses older than one year </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 145th </Td> <Td> 200 BC </Td> <Td> Pankration for boys </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="3"> Events at the Olympics </Th> </Tr>
