"The gods would never lie. Aside from Dolos. And Apate. But never mind them."
―Barnabas to Kassandra.[src]-[m]

Dolos is the personification and the spirit of trickery, guile, deception, treachery, and lies in Greek mythology. His female counterpart is Apate, and his Roman equivalent is Mendacius.

Influence

During the Peloponnesian War, Barnabas, the captain of the ship Adrestia, acknowledged Dolos on a couple of occasions[1] during his adventures with the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]

In 48 BCE, the Cyrenean Sminthos believed that Dolos, "the spirit of cunning", had sent the Medjay Bayek of Siwa to help him.[3]
