Sparte and Athens want to find out who has the better athlete. The best athlete from athens will duel himself with the best athlete from sparte.
On the very next day, athenian heralds start to tell the hellenic world from Massalia to Baktria the glorious results:
"While our athenian hero proved himself worthy and made it to a very good second place, the Spartian athlete dissappointed his people and only became penultimate."
