In the next generation CleisthenesCleisthenes of Sikyon [22.725,37.9833] (Perseus)Sicyon was contemporary with Alcmeon. the tyrant of Sikyon [22.725,37.9833] (Perseus)Sicyon raised that house still higher, so that it grew much more famous in Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas than it had formerly been. Cleisthenes son of Aristonymus son of Myron son of Andreas had one daughter, whose name was Agariste. He desired to wed her to the best man he could find in Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas.

It was the time of the Olympian games, and when he was victor there with a four-horse chariot, Cleisthenes made a proclamation that whichever Greek thought himself worthy to be his son-in-law should come on the sixtieth day from then or earlier to Sikyon [22.725,37.9833] (Perseus)Sicyon, and Cleisthenes would make good his promise of marriage in a year from that sixtieth day.

Then all the Greeks who were proud of themselves and their country came as suitors, and to that end Cleisthenes had them compete in running and wrestling contests.
