Events
Politics and world events
- The Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem is destroyed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar II (see Conquest of Jerusalem (587/586 BC) ). Whether this will be followed by a second Babylonian exile is unclear based on the sources.
Culture and sport
- The management of the Pythian Games goes to the Delphic Amphictyony , a council of the twelve Greek tribal groups. This means that the previously purely musical competitions also include gymnastic competitions and car and horse races. In future, they will not take place every eight years, as before, but every four years.
