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).
