The Champions of Boeotia was a group of Boeotian men and women who had sworn to serve their land, and by their mere presence improved the morale of their compatriots.
History
The champions were each a legendary character, famed for their skills as much among their brethren as among their enemies.
During the Peloponnesian War Stentor, a Spartan polemarch and step-brother of the misthios Kassandra, charged Kassandra to hunt down and kill the Boeotian champions, who had agreed to an alliance with the Athenian forces.[1]
Members
Aristaios, considered both skillful and smart, was in charge of training Athenian troops at the Military Fort of Gla, located in the middle of Lake Kopais.[2]
Drakon, a man believed to be a descendant of Herakles, favored the Gymnasium of Thebes.[3]
Nesaia, a huntress par excellence, preferred the company of the animals within the forests of the Cursed Land of Oedipous to that of men.[4]
Deianeira was also a member of the Heroes of the Cult branch of the Cult of Kosmos.[5]
Trivia
- In the novel Nesaia is the only member of the group to appear but as an Athenian army captain rather than a Boeotian mercenary.
