Answer 1

~I can only rely on the Greek historian Higlophefides.  He writes of the games in early Athens and before the discus became a weapon of Athenian warfare, the closest event at the Athens/Sparta/Ithaca/Medes games was the throwing of Nubian dwarfs.  By the time Plato started writing, the discus had been introduced into the Spartan armory and the discus toss supplanted νάνα ρίψη, the earlier event.
