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).
