Private Notes
A long time ago in the faraway land of ancient Greece, Demetrius pines after the lovely Apollonia. According to her father the mayor, she won`t give him the time of day until he learns to use his agility and athleticism to earn honor and glory, but all Demetrius wants to do is paint pottery.
Demetrius is invited to attend a modern day field day, where he witnesses sports being enjoyed in a way he previously thought impossible.
The mayor of the neighboring village threatens to go to war unless Apollonia marries his son. However, due to the three-month armistice mandated by the Olympics, an athletic competition is arranged instead.
Inspired by the inventive and entertaining nature of Demetrius' egg race, the mayor asks him to come up with a hundred more events for Tortonia's local Olympics.
Demetrius is tasked with coming up with unique games for the Tortonian Olympics, but his ancient Greek surroundings leave him uninspired. He experiences an epiphany at a swim meet in 20th Century Tokyo.
The mayor demands that Demetrius come up with prizes to offer at the Tortonian Olympics in order to increase participation. This time he finds inspiration at an elementary school field day.
Though Demetrius' prizes were well-received, they're not enough to encourage everyone to participate in the Tortonian Olympics. Those who lack physical prowess claim there's no reason for them to participate since they have no hope of winning any prizes.
With unique games and prizes, the Tortonian Olympics are coming together, but the village of Tortonia lacks skilled athletes. The mayor demands that Demetrius invent more games that the Tortonians are sure to win.
Summer, the season of war in ancient Greece, is approaching. Though the mayor and the other villagers seem excited, Demetrius is, as usual, less than enthusiastic.
A group of Spartans offer to help Tortonia with their Olympic games. Unfortunately, they've also offered wrestling lessons to the citizens of Tortonia.
Much to everyone's dismay, the Spartans continue to educate Tortonians on the Spartan lifestyle.
The Spartans have declared war against Tortonia! Somehow Demetrius and Apollonia are able to convince the Spartans to agree to an athletic competition instead, but how can Tortonia possibly win?
At the party celebrating the departure of the Spartans, Demetrius gets a moment alone with Apollonia.
The mayor suggests that Tortonia lies about being the originator of a cool and mainstream event in order to generate more interest in their upcoming Olympics.
The mayor is furious when he discovers that not even the nearby villages have heard about the Tortonian Olympics and demands that Demetrius fixes the problem.
Word of the Tortonian Olympics has spread far and wide, but there's a new problem: it won't make any money.
When the mayor and Demetrius learn that the conditions at the Olympics are actually terrible, they see an opportunity to outdo their rival.
The Olympics are better than the Tolympics in yet another way: food! With limited resources, how can Tortonia win this time?
The mayor and Demetrius get to work coming up with a logo for the Tolympics in order to promote it effectively.
The Tolympics opening ceremony is beginning. While the mayor gives an excessively long speech, Demetrius and Apollonia get a moment alone together.
