Chara: Difference between revisions

Chara was the name Phoibe had given her wooden sculpture of an eagle, given to her by her mother.

History[edit | edit source]

Phoibe always carried Chara, playing with it while running her errands.^[1]

When the Spartan misthios Kassandra left Kephallonia in 431 BCE, Phoibe gave Chara to Kassandra, so that they would always be together.^[2] When Kassandra returned to Athens during the plague in 429, she returned Chara to Phoibe.^[3]

In the simulation of the Underworld created by the Isu Aletheia, Chara was stolen by a one-eyed thief from Phoibe.^[4]

Millennia later in the Cave of Gold on the Isle of Skye, the Apple of Eden that was kept there projected illusions from Kassandra's long-distant past; one of these specters was a recreation of Chara atop a small plinth, and its appearance made Kassandra stop short in pained memory at her late friend.^[5]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Chara's name is derived from the Greek word χαρά (kharā́), meaning 'joy'.
