Biography[edit | edit source]
Born to Chrysis, Dolops apparently never knew his father. After growing up, he became a priest of Asklepios, and worked in the sanctuary dedicated to the healing god. He later retired to become a farmer after his mother stole a Spartan baby who had been left for dead, and silenced the priests of the sanctuary.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, he met the Spartan misthios Kassandra, who had been pointed his way by Hippokrates.[2] The mercenary scared Dolops, for someone had made an attempt on his life. Kassandra promised to solve the case in return for information about an incident with a Spartan woman and an injured baby long ago.[3]
After solving the case, Kassandra returned to learn about Chrysis and her practice at the Altar of Apollo Maleatas in southern Valley of Dreams.[3] Just as Chrysis fled the temple after setting it on fire to trap and kill Kassandra and a baby inside, Dolops intercepted his mother and killed her with a woodsman axe. Upon the arrival of Kassandra with the baby, Dolops took the infant and returned to the Sanctuary of Asklepios.[4]
