Once again we have entered the Delian Stadium via THE PALESTRA Our champion of yesterday has opted not to compete in the equestrian events. He says he needs a day of rest, and therefor he must be a mortal. He has already been awarded the Helios trophy for the amazing performance demonstrated yesterday.

Today there is a full crowd. I hope they will not be dissapointed.

We have eliminated the races for foals, and for mules. This afternoon we will have the:

Tethrippon [four-horse chariot race]

full grown kele [horses]

synoris [two horse chariot race]

The track is clear. It is a glorious day for the races.

There are nine contenders. Each will represent a sponsoring city-state. They will be racing in all events.
