Dolops was a 5th century BCE Greek farmer and former priest who resided in Epidauros, Argolis. He was the son of Chrysis, a member of the Cult of Kosmos.
Biography
Born to Chrysis, Dolops apparently never knew his father. When he'd grown up, he became a priest of Asklepios, and worked in the sanctuary dedicated to the healing god. Or did, until his mother stole a Spartan baby who'd been left for dead, and silenced the priests of 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]
