First Sacred War - 2023 ARCADIA

Question

At the advice of the physician Nebros, forces under Cleisthenes of Sicyon used hellebore to poison the water supply of a besieged city during this conflict in one of the earliest known instances of chemical warfare. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this conflict in which the Delphic Amphictyony devastated the lands of Kirrha as punishment for the mistreatment of pilgrims. The Pythian Games were established in the wake of this conflict.

ANSWER: First Sacred War [prompt on Sacred Wars]

[10e] Nebros is said to have been the ancestor of this man. This physician’s theorized guilt over Nebros’s actions at Kirrha may have motivated him to establish his namesake oath, which swears to “do no harm.”

ANSWER: Hippocrates [or Hippocrates of Kos or Hippocrates II]

[10m] Pausanias’s account attributes the poisoning of Kirrha’s water to this Athenian member of the Seven Sages. This man claimed that Tellus, a man who died for his country, was a happier man than Croesus of Lydia.

ANSWER: Solon
