History[edit | edit source]

A map of Greece on a scroll

During the Peloponnesian War, many of the island nations throughout the Aegean Sea sided with either Sparta's Peloponnesian League, or Athens' Delian League. As a result, the navies of various nations regularly patrolled the sea, in addition to pirates. The Spartan misthios Kassandra also traversed the sea aboard her ship, the Adrestia. The Gods of the Aegean Sea, a branch of the Cult of Kosmos, sought to control all traffic on the Aegean, especially the trade routes, until the branch collapsed after the intervention of Kassandra and the Adrestia.[1]

Roman Civil War[edit | edit source]

In 48 BCE, Cleopatra of Egypt dispatched Aya and Phoxidas to the Aegean in search of the Roman general Pompey, who she sought to secure alliance with in order to capture the throne from her brother Ptolemy XIII. Aya and Phoxidas destroyed a number of Ptolemy's triremes before meeting with Pompey's fleet, which then also came under attack from Ptolemy's fleet. After the Ptolemaic ships were destroyed, Aya and Phoxidas boarded Pompey's octareme and presented him with Cleopatra's proposal, which he accepted.[2]
