6 athletic attributes

On the second podcast from Eli Hunt the six attributes of an athlete are mentioned:

sofia = wisdom
thumos = courage
chariton = charm
dikaiosune = leadership
sophrosune = temperence
mythopeia = storytelling

The 6 amnesiacs suddenly "remember" names:

Mei Hui = sofia696 (see video)
Markus = thumos696 (see blog entry)
Noriko = sophrosune696 (see video)
Diego = mythopoeia696 (see video)
Lucie = chariton696

The number 696 is a reference that 2008 is in the 696th olympiad (= 4 years) since the first olympiad (776 BC).
