The Daughters of Artemis

It was suggested that Kassandra seek out Daphnae, the leader of the Daughters of Artemis, in Phokis. A great task was meant to await her there…

The Goddesses’ Hunt

Daphnae challenged Kassandra to hunt down seven legendary creatures throughout the Greek world and deliver their pelts back to her.

Kallisto the Bear

The wide expanses of Arkadia were home to Kallisto the Bear, a creature of rare beauty and unmatched ferocity. Kassandra was given the task of claiming its pelt.

The Erymanthian Boar

The Erymanthian boar was said to have been captured by Herakles, and now its namesake trampled all before it in Elis. Kassandra would have to avoid its deadly charge in order to claim its pelt.

The Nemean Lion

The Nemean lion held Argolis in a grip of fear - those who roamed into the wilds rarely returned. Though it was a killer, Kassandra saw in it a noble beauty, and was sad she had to slay it.

The Krokottas Hyena

The Krokottas Hyena had been spotted in Kythera. Kassandra was eager to add this unusual creature’s pelt to her collection.

The Hind of Keryneia

The Hind of Keryneia was sacred to the Daughters of Artemis. Hunting such a magnificent creature was an honor one could not take lightly, and one that Kassandra would complete.

The Kretan Bull

The Kretan Bull was a creature of legend captured by Herakles, though it was the gods' will that such creatures once more roam the land. Kassandra needed to do more than capture this bull.

The Lykaon Wolf

The Lykaon Wolf was seen lurking around Lakonia, preying on man and beast alike. Kassandra would put an end to this predator for good.

Artemis's Request

Daphnae had one last trial for Kassandra. She believed that by completing her hunts for Artemis, Kassandra had proven herself worthy of challenging her for the leadership of the Daughters of Artemis.

"{TARGET_NAME} tricked me into revealing my darkest secrets to her. I can't have those secrets revealed. Slice her tongue from her mouth."

"{TARGET_NAME} is as lovely as she is terrible. I enjoyed my time with her, but now my wife is asking too many questions. Kill her to protect my legacy."

"{TARGET_NAME}, that petty malákas! She murdered my husband over some wine. Every breath she takes is an insult to his name! Cut out her heart."

"My wine cellar took a generation to build, but {TARGET_NAME} drank it all in a week. I can't get the wine back, but I can have vengeance!"

"Wine and {TARGET_NAME} are a fabulous mix, but now she is using our night together to blackmail me. Someone must end her now."

"{TARGET_NAME} was hired to protect my son from bandits, but she failed, and my son was murdered on the road. Return the favor to her."

"{TARGET_NAME} was to slay someone for me, but she just took my drachmae and did nothing! I will pay double to the one who cuts off her head instead."

"{TARGET_NAME} is murdering politicians left and right. I might be next. I promise a huge bounty to the one who cuts her down first."

"{TARGET_NAME} found out something about me. I can’t have this revealed to the rest of the village. Drachmae to the one with the strength to end her."

"Drachmae is no object for the misthios who finally takes {TARGET_NAME} down. I will reward the killer handsomely."

"We are only poor farmers, but we will give what we can to the one who avenges our neighbor by killing {TARGET_NAME}."

"{TARGET_NAME} is a horrible monster. The way she kills makes me sick to my stomach! Do the world a favor and kill her."

"The common folk fear {TARGET_NAME}. She fills all she meets with dread and fear. We need a misthios's help to save us. We will pay whatever we can."

"{TARGET_NAME} must be stopped. She’s been cutting through our small village, taking whatever she wants. Please, save us!"

"Our village hired {TARGET_NAME} to protect us from bandits, but she helped them instead for more drachmae! Don't let her get away with this."

"Our olive trees are our livelihood, but {TARGET_NAME} helped bandits cut them down for fun. We are running out of drachmae, but will pay for her death."

"{TARGET_NAME} was supposed to save our crops from theft, but she burned them for fun. Cut the malákas down for her treachery."

"We survive by hunting small animals, but {TARGET_NAME} kills everything that moves just for fun. Please stop her!"

"{TARGET_NAME} defies the gods by killing all who cross her. She makes our lands impure! The gods cannot be denied, kill {TARGET_NAME}!"

"As a priest of Hades, I call upon a brave soul to bury {TARGET_NAME} in darkness and death!"

"{TARGET_NAME} waged war alongside my soldiers, but when the final battle came, she betrayed us. Find her and tear her apart!"

"I once thought war was bad, but no battle compares to the bloodshed created by {TARGET_NAME}. The only justice good enough for her is death."

"{TARGET_NAME} has used this war for her own gain. She raids broken villages and no one is able to stop her. We need another misthios to take her down."

"{TARGET_NAME} wages total war and has destroyed too many lives to count. War requires balance. Tip the scales by putting her in the ground."

"As a soldier I fought alongside {TARGET_NAME} until she betrayed us for a higher price. I cannot stand mercenaries, but I need one to end her."

"This war has brought horrors to us all, but the worst have come from a misthios known as {TARGET_NAME}. End her life."

"Soldiers should protect each other in war. {TARGET_NAME} does the opposite - she betrays brave soldiers. Betray her with a sword in the gut!"

"{TARGET_NAME} has learned too much of our battle plans. I fear she will sell them to the enemy. Cut her down before she gets a chance!"

"War is beautiful. A true test of human skill. Yet {TARGET_NAME} just looks for ways to make money off it. Spill her blood and return war to its true form."

"Death comes to us all, eventually. But I need {TARGET_NAME} to die before this war ends. Make sure her body is never found."

"Athens and Sparta wage war, but {TARGET_NAME} murders our children so they will never grow up to fight. She must be stopped. Please, protect our families!"

"{TARGET_NAME} uses our hunting grounds, killing whatever she likes. There is little left for the rest of us. Slice her up and let the beasts have her!"

"I have visions of {TARGET_NAME} murdering my flock of sheep in my sleep. Please, someone put a stop to her before it comes true!"

"The woods near my home have been taken over by {TARGET_NAME}. She treats it like her own disgusting playground. Save our land and make her suffer."

"Mutilated animals litter the forests because of {TARGET_NAME}. Someone must put an end to her cruelty."

"{TARGET_NAME} cuts down our precious wood for no reason at all. I think she wants to see us suffer. Someone needs to gut her for her mistreatment of our land."

"The wilderness was safe once, but not with {TARGET_NAME} around. None can satisfy her bloodlust. She must die."

"The forest calls to me! It desires the blood of {TARGET_NAME}. Let her bleed!"

"{TARGET_NAME}'s deeds are known all over. She has made her home in the forests nearby. Kill her and put an end to her wicked story."

"I overheard {TARGET_NAME} plotting to kill me with poisoned wine! I won’t stop drinking, so someone needs to gut her before she can act."

"{TARGET_NAME} used to gamble with us in the village, but she cheated every time. Now she’s stolen our crops as payment. Someone gut the malákas!"

"{TARGET_NAME} impersonated an officer and sent young soldiers to the death for his own contracts. Kill that bastard."

"{TARGET_NAME} has been despoiling corpses on the battlefield before they’ve even grown cold. Kill this carrion bird."

"I hired {TARGET_NAME} to protect my sheep from raiders, and the bastard just walked off and left my flock to them. Now it’s his turn to be slaughtered."

"{TARGET_NAME} stole armor that’s been in my family since the time of Homer. Hunt him down."

"{TARGET_NAME} murdered an Athenian patrol while they slept. My son was one of those men. Avenge him. For Athens. For me."

"Bounty for the head of {TARGET_NAME}, wanted for high treason against the state."

"{TARGET_NAME} put a bounty on my head, but it’s all a misunderstanding. Kill him first before his mistakes cost me my life!"

"{TARGET_NAME} killed my Captain on the battlefield and fled to the enemy's side. Betrayal must be avenged."

"{TARGET_NAME} sold us weapons that broke on the battlefield and cost two soldiers their lives. Kill him slowly for them."

"Reward for the blood of {TARGET_NAME}. He's a traitorous bastard, and I want him dead."

"{TARGET_NAME} robbed and abandoned me after accepting a contract to protect me. He deserves to die."

"{TARGET_NAME} was supposed to guard my home, but instead he raided my wine cellar. Rare and precious wines went down that drunk’s throat - slit it for me."

"{TARGET_NAME} charmed his way into my bed and stole my jewelry while I slept. The worst part is I want to forgive him. Kill him and free me from him."

"I hired {TARGET_NAME} to guard my shipment of silks but instead of escorting them to market, he ran off with the finest bolts. Kill that thief!"

"They say {TARGET_NAME} is behind the deaths of several politicians. He’s too dangerous to live when our very democracy is at stake."

"I spent years building that house and {TARGET_NAME} burned it to the ground in a single drunken evening. Make his corpse a hideous sight."

"I know {TARGET_NAME} has been bribing politicians but I don’t know why yet. I need him eliminated before he ruins all my plans."

"Does {TARGET_NAME} have a wife? I hope so. I want to hear her weep after you kill the bastard."

"I want {TARGET_NAME} dead. I don't care who does it or how, except I want him to suffer."

"{TARGET_NAME} burned my olive trees. I don’t know why - if it was part of a job or he was bored. I don’t care. Kill that bastard."

"{TARGET_NAME} is kidnapping good people and selling them into slavery. Tartaros waits for a bastard like that."

"{TARGET_NAME} killed my husband, and I've lost everything. What little I have left I’ll pay to whoever leaves his corpse under the skies."

"{TARGET_NAME} killed my son. Leave his body in an alley, and may the stray cats eat his tongue."

"{TARGET_NAME} has burned fields. He’s destroyed crops. He’s taken food from the mouths of my family. I want his head."

"{TARGET_NAME} killed 3 beggars in the city last month alone. What reason is there to kill beggars? He is just a monster who likes blood. Show him his own."

"My brother gambled with {TARGET_NAME} and that bastard cheated him out of everything he had. Feed him to the dogs."

"He’s a liar and a cheat, but I said I would love {TARGET_NAME} until the day he died. Bounty offered to anyone who moves that day closer."

"Bounty offered on {TARGET_NAME} for what happened in Boeotia. He knows what he did."

"{TARGET_NAME} raids every shipment I send to town. Kill him so that my wife and children don’t starve."

"{TARGET_NAME} has ruined my life, but I want to give him a great gift: peace. Certainty. No more wondering how or when. Make it today."

"I caught {TARGET_NAME} pissing on a statue of Zeus in the sanctuary! He should die for this disgrace."

"{TARGET_NAME} killed my family on their pilgrimage to Delphi. The gods have left me with nothing but a desire for revenge."

"{TARGET_NAME} threatened me with a curse. I don’t believe in curses but just in case - I think his death would break it."

"{TARGET_NAME} has been taking offerings from the temples. He’s not afraid of the priests or the soldiers, but you can teach him to fear the gods!"

"I put my curse on {TARGET_NAME}, but he must have found some talisman to protect himself. I need you to help my curse along."

"{TARGET_NAME} hunts in a forest sacred to Athena and does not give sacrifice to her. He must be made to pay for his sacrilege."

"{TARGET_NAME} disguised himself as a priest to rob worshippers at the temple. Such a horrific blasphemy deserves swift and terrible death."

"I hired {TARGET_NAME} to accompany me on a pilgrimage, and he fled at the first sight of trouble. Kill that coward."

"When {TARGET_NAME} laughed in the ceremony to Dionysos, he brought bad luck on the whole town. Kill him to redeem us to the gods."

"Athena gave me a vision of {TARGET_NAME} dead. I’m no hunter or killer, but I dare not defy the goddess. Fulfill this prophecy for me."

"{TARGET_NAME} has been poaching my hunting grounds. There won’t be anything left alive at the rate he’s going. I need someone to poach him."

"Every night I see what {TARGET_NAME} did in the woods. Over and over again. Please. He has to die."

"The wolves used to be the worst thing in the woods before {TARGET_NAME} showed up. Please get rid of this beast."

"Everywhere in my hunting grounds, dead and mutilated animals. {TARGET_NAME} is insane and he’ll move on to people next. Please stop this madman."

"{TARGET_NAME} hunts on grounds reserved for the nobles. Kill this arrogant fool."

"{TARGET_NAME} is a bastard who has made life miserable out here for us, but bad things can happen in the wilds. Take care of him."

"The trees and the animals themselves call for the blood of the despoiler {TARGET_NAME}. Spill his blood and nourish the forest."

"{TARGET_NAME}’s murderous deeds are too numerous to list. He’s hiding in the forest; end his horrors."

"{TARGET_NAME} is worse than the wolves he hunts. When he comes into the village for supplies, he fights and drinks and worse. Make this hunt his last."

"We hired {TARGET_NAME} to help us search the caves for treasure. He robbed and killed one of our searchers the first night and left us there. Kill him."

Bounty on a Politician

"He is a corrupt politician who wants to raise taxes on the merchants - haven’t we paid enough? Time for him to pay."

"My rival - a politician of low morals - he is going to argue against a plan that will help the people for his own profit. Serve the people and end him."

"A hypocrite politician is a client of mine, but now he wants to ban the hetaerae. He needs to be taken care of."

"A politician sat for a portrait and then said I didn’t paint him handsome enough. I told the fat bastard I paint what I see, and he wouldn’t pay. Oh he’ll pay."

"This politician is ordering higher taxes on the wines from my vineyard, but he gives a break to his friends. Leave his body in the street."

"Ever since our local politician came to power, bandits have become bolder. We need a stronger leader. His head on a spear should scare the bandits off."

"There’s a politician taking bribes, lining his pockets with drachmae so his friends can get what they want. Slit his throat and remind him other people exist."

"Our politician does nothing about the thieves around here. It’s time to take the law into our own hands. Drachmae for the first person to cut him down."

"A politician is trying to introduce a higher tax for merchants coming into the port. I say drag his corpse into the port instead!"

"There’s no order in the agora anymore since the new politician took charge. Things need to go back to how they were. Slice him open and restore order."

"Wanted: the head of this bastard politician who lines his pockets with drachmae at the cost of the poor."

"This politician argues for laws that will make it ever harder for the poor to live in the city. It won’t be easy for him to live if I have my way."

"He’s no leader, he’s a politician only for the rich. He turns his nose up and hurries through our neighborhood. I want his body left in our gutters."

"The politicians are supposed to give voice to the will of the people, but this one only gives voice to his love of drachmae. He needs to go."

"These politicians are all the same - they lie and only care about the rich. But this one is the worst. He’ll sell us all to the enemy before he’s done."

"This area is too poor to support a greedy politician, but the pig keeps taking more and more. Gut him like the animal he is."

"Since that new politician came to power, there are more beggars around here than ever before. People are losing everything. Let him lose his head."

"That new politician doesn’t care about the poor, he only helps the rich get their way. I’ll give my last drachma to the person who ends him."

"Our politician spends more drachmae on the hetaerae than he does on the people. He only cares about his own needs. Cut him from head to toe."

"We don’t have enough guards to protect the poor because our politician sends them to protect the rich. Take a blade and show him what we’re worth."

"The politicians all pay lip service to the temple, but there is one who is openly contemptuous of the gods’ place in the city. He must be purified."

"The gods have spoken to me and they tell me that the politician is an evil force that must be destroyed. We do the gods’ will in destroying him!"

"He argues for drachmae for soldiers but what about the temples? This politician has abandoned the gods."

"In public he speaks of the importance of the gods to the fate of the city, but this politician is a liar who mocks the temple behind closed doors."

"Everyone thinks that he’s a pious man and a great politician, but he drinks and says vile things to the priestess - right at the temple! He’s a monster."

"Our local politician does not pay the temple the respect he should. He will bring down the anger of the gods if we don’t do something. Send him to Hades."

"There’s a politician so full of himself, he seems to think he has the power of the gods. Show him how dangerous such talk is. Cut out his windpipe."

"Our politician refuses to remove the Followers of Ares. Their dark arts will invoke the wrath of the gods! Kill him before he ruins us all."

"There’s a politician giving the temple far too much drachmae. The people are the ones in need! Cut this fool down."

"Our new politician was never supposed to take power. The gods demand his death so another may rise. Cleanse the agora with his blood."

"Bounty on the bastard politician sending soldiers to die just to grow his own power. Save our sons."

"This politician is pressing the Commanders to take risks just to look like he’s taking action. He’ll get soldiers killed just to grow his popularity!"

"This coward of a politician argues for peace. Peace is the same as defeat if it’s not won with victory. Show him the way we deal with cowards."

"This politician talks and talks, and we lose more territory to the enemy. Give his blood to the earth, and a better man can lead us."

"This politician thinks he’s a soldier but he’s safe back in the city. Argues for us to be put at risk because he doesn’t know real danger. Show him."

"Our new politician speaks openly against the war effort. His words will discourage the soldiers. Slice out his tongue before he can say more."

"A politician here is too easily influenced by his friends. His decisions will ruin the war effort. Butcher him so others don’t repeat his mistakes."

"The soldiers around here treat us worse since the new politician came to power. He’s inept, and they take their frustrations out on us. Let him hang."

"I know another politician would have made better decisions. The war effort suffers now. Cut him down so he can be replaced."

"Our city is not well defended since that new politician took over. The malákas puts us all in danger. Cut open his throat so the rest of us may live."

"This politician thinks only the city matters - every law he argues for hurts us in the countryside so that he may gain power in the city. We need new leadership."

"A politician passed through our village. Mocked us for being uneducated. We have pride and will not be insulted by soft men who only talk for their living."

"Wanted - the head of the bastard politician who outlawed my hunting without knowing what life is actually like out here. If I can’t live, neither can he."

"Kill the bastard politician who argued against protecting my village because he wants more soldiers watching his own home."

"Bandits and beasts ravage our land, and what does the politician do? Nothing but talk and stay protected in his city. Well he’s not as protected as he thinks."

"The new politician plans to cut down the forests to give more land to the farmers. Where am I to hunt? Kill his plans, kill him."

"There are bandit camps everywhere, and our politician does nothing. Someone needs to show him that the danger is real. Cut him open where he stands."

"Our politician refuses to do anything about the Daughters of Artemis. They make it impossible to hunt! Take a blade to his throat, maybe others will listen."

"The local politician cares only about improving city life. He doesn’t think we matter. Run a blade through his heart and let the malákas truly suffer."

"Our politician does nothing about the wild beasts plaguing this area. Tear his flesh from his bones. Others will see how dangerous it is around here."

Bounty on a Pirate Ship (Keto's Wrath/weekly)

"Pirates aboard a ship known as Keto's Wrath have destroyed maritime trade since they arrived. No one knows where they came from, but there’s drachmae for whoever stops their safe return home."

The Bright One

The might Arges, known as the Bright One, was active once again. He was seen, hungry and prowling, in the bowels of a fiery volcano.

The Lightning Bringer

Shipwrecks were always a risk, but they were never as abundant as when Steropes roamed. Witnesses swore they’d seen him, the Lightning Bringer, on a rampage around the Greek world.

Your Odyssey

Odyssey

First entry

Elpenor made an offer too good to be true: For a tidy sum, stop the Wolf of Sparta from overtaking the Athenians in Megaris. What no one knew was why.

Second entry

Nikolaos made it clear: Kassandra’s mother was still alive. After a lifetime of solitude, she might have a family again.

Third entry

Despite losing Phoibe, Perikles, and Athens itself, there was still hope: Kassandra soldiered on to Naxos to find her mother and reunite her family.

Fourth entry

Few bastions of hope shone brighter on the Aegean than Naxos. With Kassandra's help, the leader known as Phoenix would keep it that way.

Fifth entry

Kassandra began to reclaim her family. Now, it was time to reclaim her home. But finding her place among Spartans would prove more difficult than she assumed.

Sixth entry

Kassandra and Deimos's paths had crossed before, but only now were they ready to collide. Fitting, then, that it should be on a battlefield.

Seventh entry

The war intensified. Athens's frail democracy crumbled. So long as Kleon ruled the Delian League, no one was safe. Kassandra knew what she must do.

Eight entry

All great tales end where they began, as does this one. Kassandra had served her people well. Now came the time to return to them.

Legacy

First entry

While Kassandra traveled the expanse of the Greek world seeking her shattered family, she met another running from the memory of his own, and with whom she shared a secret bond.

Misc.

The Wolf and the Snake

As was the case with Elpenor, his reasons for wanting the Wolf of Sparta dead were unknown. What was known was only that the price on the contract was high, and this contract was unlike any other.

Of Visions and Visionaries

After what happened to Nikolaos, Kassandra sought guidance from Barnabas, who encouraged her to consult the Oracle at Delphi.

Revenge is Best Served Cold

She’d been toyed with enough. With spear in hand, Kassandra insisted on finding Elpenor, and now she brought justice with her.

Beware the Snakes

Things in Delphi were not as they used to be. A new wind was blowing, stirring up the pious reputation of Phokis. There was something strange about the Pythia and her prophetic abilities.

The Road to the Symposium

It was certain now that the Cult's threat was imminent - they were coming. Not only were they after Kassandra and her mythic bloodline, but they wanted Perikles, father of democracy, too. Meeting him was crucial.

Rising from the Ashes

Myrrine was known as Phoenix. She saved Alexios and brought him to Argolis. She won a ship and sailed for freedom, just like Kassandra. Surely this would be enough for Aspasia to help find her now.

A Place to Call Home

Myrrine and Kassandra were ready to reclaim their home in Sparta, and with it, their places as Spartan citizens. But Sparta was not yet ready for them.

Paint It Red

Proving loyalty to Sparta would be hard, but the bigger task would be proving loyalty to Archidamos. If Kassandra could secure victory in the battle for Boeotia, she could count herself Spartan again.

A Heraklean Task

Kassandra gathered the information she needed to track down Drakon, one of the four mighty Boeotian champions. She was determined to prove Stentor wrong and keep her stay in Boeotia short.

The Cultist King

With their tasks to regain citizenship completed, Kassandra and Myrrine returned to Sparta to reclaim what was theirs, but also to remove the Cultist King once and for all.

Public Opinion

Sokrates and Aristophanes awaited Kassandra at the home of Perikles, needing her help to discredit Kleon before all of Athens.

An Actor's Life for Me

Athens's finest actor, Thespis, was nowhere to be found. If Aristophanes wanted his next play to succeed in its critique of Kleon, he needed the talent of this man. Kassandra swore to find him.

Unknown

Reacting quickly to changes in leadership, an opportunistic merchant made quick drachmae.

Reacting even more quickly, bandits relieved him of it.

Petron, son of Pollis, was a deliveryman well known for his lusty good humor and the petasos hat he wore. When he was murdered, his employer blamed bandits.

A merchant known for his cutthroat business tactics employed a mercenary planning to indeed cut his rival’s throat. His rival sought protection.

Selling goat milk to a doctor for use in his remedies was profitable for a merchant until the doctor began keeping his own goats.

A merchant who sold talisman charms to a priestess hoped that the priestess had not been attacked by the Followers of Ares.

Traveling merchants claim to know the terrain of their sales routes better than anyone. Thus, a merchant found valuables.

A merchant better known for his humor than for his wares or his prices, in the opinion of his Spartan buyers, feared an attack by unhappy customers.

A Spartan Commander who claimed that Spartan desertion was unheard of - although others claim differently - was shocked and angered at desertion in his unit.

Despite being outmatched in a regional skirmish, Athenians were able to hold a position due to being well supplied and funded.

After an argument with his Commander, a Spartan second-in-command stormed off into a forest patrolled by bandits - unwisely, in his commander's opinion.

A Spartan Commander took action against a farmer who was spreading infection with his tainted crops.

A change in leadership caused helots previously loyal to Sparta to abandon their posts. A Commander plotted revenge against the traitors.

Spartans raiding a village for food were attacked by villagers. The Spartan Commander plotted what he claimed was the least bloody way to resolve this.

After a mercenary took drachmae but failed to kill a Commander, a Spartan Commander reluctantly had to hire another mercenary.

After eliminating the Monger, Kassandra’s reputation caused her to be sought by a Commander looking to make an attack on food-stealing bandits.

After the exile of Pausanias, the disgraced King of Sparta opposed by Kassandra, opportunistic Athenians and bandits began attacking.

A Spartan Commander was torn between his desire to defend a spy and his need to deliver information to his superiors.

Spartans preferred an open battle on level ground. When ambushed from the trees by Daughters of Artemis, an inexperienced Commander panicked.

Despite their pride and belief that they were unbeatable in even combat, Spartan Commanders sometimes sought advantage by attacking supplies and boats before engaging.

An Athenian spy was willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure victory for Athens - even so far as committing treason against his Commander.

An Athenian soldier with a new baby at home considered desertion but was afraid to send a message home because of the dangers on the path.

An Athenian soldier, ordered by his Commander to hold his post, was unable to go to the aid of villagers under attack from raiders.

A cautious Athenian Commander, despite having won a skirmish, worried that the Spartans were restocking and employing mercenaries for a counterattack.

While surrounded by Spartans, an Athenian Commander despaired that the Spartan commander he was up against was too smart an opponent to beat.

Though he was by all accounts a minor talent, an Athenian soldier who fancied himself a poet had his writing stolen by bandits.

An Athenian soldier was concerned about frequent disappearances on a nearby road but unable to leave his post due to frequent raider attacks.

As the result of a rather spirited disagreement over military spending, a politician began calling for an Athenian Commander's head

A young Athenian soldier in love was called to the front and so was unable to give his betrothed a gift of fine jewelry.

A Spartan soldier wanted to establish a camp, but was under threat from both beasts and bandits and so was prevented from controlling the area.

Spartan soldiers were angered by the loss of weapons after the sinking of ships just offshore. Sharks prevented divers from easily retrieving the weapons.

Following a skirmish with raiders, a Spartan soldier feared that his brother had been taken captive and so wanted to find him.

A Spartan soldier complained of spies near his camp. He claimed he would have killed the spies if he was not also plagued by beasts in the area.

A Spartan, frustrated by Athenian strength near his detachment, targeted the weapons of the Athenians in an effort to weaken them.

Spartan deserters fled the battlefield, taking a crate of supplies with them. The soldiers left behind faced an attack and could not pursue the deserters.

Spartans relied on herbalists to provide them with poultices for the wounded, but thieves would rob the wounded or steal supplies if they were unguarded.

Spartan soldiers were confident in winning battles on even terms. As a result, they hated spies for making engagements less straightforward.

Seemingly mad, a beggar claimed that there were incredible riches hidden in a cave, guarded by lions.

Desperate to keep his last drachma safe from thieves, one beggar hid the coin under his tongue. Yet, thieves still managed to rob the man.

Supposedly blessed with divine sight, one beggar claimed to know a cave where a great truth could be found.

Angered by the drachmae some of the rich donated to the Followers of Ares, a beggar sought to get his hands on some of the drachmae.

The streets were often hostile and cruel. One beggar, fearing the competition of another, wondered how he would make enough drachmae to survive.

It can be said that an honest man will often starve while a brigand eats his fill. So it was with one beggar, who coveted bandits’ plentiful food supplies.

In times of war, bandits will steal everything - even items of little worth. Such was the case of one beggar, who found even his meagre possessions targeted.

A starving man is ruled by his stomach. One beggar, driven to desperation by his hunger, hoped to feast on goat meat instead of radish leaves.

One beggar, who was cheated while gambling - or so he claimed - desperately desired a way to get revenge, or drachmae.

While dockers in the port were protected from pirate attacks, their livelihoods were threatened by ships being sunk and raided once they left port.

Dockers, it is said, were always well informed about shipwrecks. One particular wreck carried a sword that a docker wanted to the bottom of the sea.

While dockers inevitably knew where valuables could be salvaged from shipwrecks, actually retrieving the sunken booty often meant dealing with sharks.

A docker with merchant connections was able to secure a better deal for an olive farmer. The merchant who had made the old deal was angry to lose business.

Dockers mixed with all sorts of people in the ports. One dockworker overheard ruffians planning an attack on an artist and wanted to help the victim.

When Spartans took a port, they laid claim to everything in it. One dockworker refused to give up a cloak his mother had made for him and was killed.

Spartan weapons were valuable on the secondary market. Dockers inevitably had contacts in these markets and looked for the swords of Commanders.

Athenian guards claiming they were “inspecting” goods used their power to rob dockworkers of valuable cargo.

A dockworker hatched a plan to smuggle rare vintage wine to a politician under the cover of supplies being “destroyed” by mercenaries.
