Archaeologists in Athens believe they may have discovered some of the remains of an army raised by nobleman Cylon — the first recorded Olympic champion — who tried to take over the city of Athens and install himself as its sole ruler 2,500 years ago.

Athenian and Greek historians Thucydides and Herodotus, wrote about the coup and described how Cylon enticed an army of followers to enter the city and lay siege to the Athens Acropolis.
