In the 96th Olympiad (396 BC), beside the athletic and artistic competitions,〔Gymnikos, hippikos and mousikos agon (naked, equine and artistic contest)〕 the "Herald and Trumpet contest" was added, which was already a formal element of the Olympic ritual performed by the kerykes (heralds) and salpinktai (trumpeteers) . Winners were chosen by the clarity of the enunciation and the audibility of their voice or horn blast. Some notable victors were: *Timaeus (trumpeter) and Crates (herald) of Elis, the first ones. *Herodorus of Megara (ten times) 328-292 BC trumpeter. *Diogenes of Ephesus 69-85 AD (five times) trumpeter. *Valerius Eclectus of Sinope 245,253-261 AD (four times) herald. ==References== *Ancient Greek Athletics By Stephen G.
