The first Olympiad and the Greek alphabet

The first Olympiad and the polis; vowels added to the Phoenician alphabet, and within decades Homer is fixed in writing for good.

In plain words

Greece holds the first Olympic games, the city-state takes shape, and vowels are added to the alphabet; within decades Homer is fixed in writing for good. It is road-building: miners cut the path, the Greeks paved it.

The mechanism

ROADS BEFORE PAYLOAD — miners cut the road, the Greeks paved it, and Homer rode it into writing
