Oh you missed the best bit of the myth as described by pausanias. Of those dactyls the one who comes up with the idea for the race is Heracles. What is even more interesting is that according to Pausanias, the Idaean Herakles is the selfsame as the Theban Herakles nee Alcaeus son of Alcmene.
One thing that I have a hard time believing, is that since "we don't know for sure", we're not assuming that the arrival of Christianity was the cause of the end of Ancient Games. Given what has happened with Christianity everywhere else in the world, up to freaking South East Asia (the Magellan expedition, that ended with attempts at converting local peoples, which took a couple of battles, some money, and some more convincing, and eventually worked), the efforts to either convert heretics or squelch any non-christian cult through some sort of violence, I'm not really inclined to believe that Christianity wasn't a partly responsible for the Ancient Games disappearance. It most likely was, because that's what Christianity did to non-christian cults, pagan or not.

Yes! very interesting. I ended up cutting that from the script, but thanks for mentioning it here.
