All the three more recent _Agones_ included crowns for exercises of music and poetry, along with gymnastics, chariots, and horses.

Videas aliquando hominem aperto ore quasi intercluso habitu expirare, non cantare, ac ridiculosa quadam vocis interceptione quasi minitari silentium; nunc agones morientium, vel extasim patientium imitari.

The name is said to be derived from the _agones_ (corrupted to Navone, Navona), or contests which took place in the circus.

The earliest subject of competition[112] at the great Pythian festival was the singing of a hymn in honor of Apollo: other _agones_ were subsequently added, but the ode or hymn constituted the fundamental attribute of the solemnity: the Pythia at Sikyôn and elsewhere were probably framed on a similar footing.

There were ‘Agones rhetorici et poetici quotannis celebrari soliti, quique etiamnum hodie Kalendis Maii (_sic_) quotannis in domo publica committuntur’.[661] It is doubtful when these games were first introduced.
