Gyras (died c. 422 BCE) was an Achaian naval engineer who lived in Patrai during the Peloponnesian War.
Biography
During the Peloponnesian War, Gyras was noted for his techniques and abilities, said to be one of the best in Greece. For this reason, Phila, the Magus of the Order of the Storm branch of the Order of the Ancients, and a naval commander known as the Tempest, hired him to work on creating a weapon for her flag ship, the Skylla. Gyras was reluctant to accept but was eventually forced into doing so in order to protect his wife Parmys. Due to the destructive nature of the weapon, the engineer eventually abandoned the project before its completion, and sought ways to escape Achaia with his wife. However, with the naval blockade placed on the region, the engineer was unable to do so.[1]
Later that year, Gyras was sought out by the Spartan misthios Kassandra, who learned about his activities from the Persian Darius. Kassandra offered to help Gyras escape, though Gyras asked her to retrieve the plans from the fleet commander at the Temple of Artemis Laphria, so that he could install the weapon on Kassandra's ship and destroy Phila, thereby allowing him to leave. After sending her off, the engineer was assaulted and slain by Megakreon, a member of the Order who had learned of his treachery.[1]
Legacy
Gyras' death was avenged almost immediately after his death as Kassandra and Darius slew Megakreon and his guards.[1] Later on, his wife Parmys helped Kassandra by telling her where Gyras had hidden the code books needed to install the Chimera's Breath.[2]
