In 49 BCE, Aya's son Khemu was killed by the Order of the Ancients beneath the Temple of Amun in Siwa.

As such, Phanos introduced Aya to Apollodorus, a follower of Queen Cleopatra who gave Aya a place to take refuge. Aya's husband and Medjay, Bayek of Siwa, later came to the city in search of his love. In the library, Phanos introduced himself to Bayek, giving him the details about Aya's situation. He later escorted Bayek to a small tower, containing a well which provided an entrance to Aya's hideout. Before leaving, Phanos invited Bayek to look for him after reuniting with Aya.[2]

As a result, Phanos' pay was confiscated by the Gennadios' phylakitai and his actors were imprisoned in the Akra Garrison. Phanos, refusing to be oppressed, attempted to rally the Alexandrians to rebel against the Ptolemies. This caught the attention of Bayek, who helped Phanos to rescue his actors and retrieve his script, allowing him to resume his play.[3]
To celebrate the launch of his play, Phanos chose Bayek as his guest of honor, inviting him to his home located south of the city.
