Markos was a Greek merchant from the island of Kephallonia during the 5th century BCE.

He had made the acquaintance of Phoibe and the Spartan misthios Kassandra at some point before the Peloponnesian War. Markos took Kassandra in under his wing, and got her into trouble in his schemes to get rich quick, including with the the Cyclops, a local thug. Eventually this situation was resolved, letting him get back to his scheming.

Biography

Early life

"Think back to that sunny day when I found you, Kassandra. That was your day of need, and Markos came to the rescue!"
―Markos to Kassandra, 429 BCE–422 BCE.[src]-[m]

Around 448 BCE, Markos found an unconscious Kassandra on the beaches of Kephallonia. Thinking that he could use her to perform various errands for him, Markos took her in[1] and raised her to become a renowned mercenary on the island. The two would later gain another aide in Phoibe, an orphan from Athens.[2]

However, Markos frequently caused problems for the island's residents, leading Kassandra to step in and clean up his mess. Prior to 431 BCE, he also got into trouble with the local thug Cyclops of Kephallonia, which in time, also involved Kassandra.[2]

Dealings with the Cyclops

Markos confronted by Kassandra about the vineyard

That year, Marko borrowed money from the Cyclops in order to establish a vineyard on Mount Ainos. When this purchase reached Kassandra, the misthios questioned his intentions, reminding that he still owe her from a previous errand. Markos then directed her to Duris, a merchant in Sami who owed him money, stating that she would be able to collect his debt from him. Markos reluctantly allowed Kassandra to take one of his horses as a form of repayment.[3]

Later on, Markos was confronted by one of Cyclops' thugs outside the Temple of Zeus, who informed him to quickly repay his debts before his leader return to Kephallonia.[4]

Business on Kos

Sometime after Kassandra's departure from Kephallonia, Markos himself left the island as well, travelling to the island of Kos, setting up a wine business again. There, he got into trouble again, this time dealing with triplets known as the Cerberus. He requested that Kassandra assist him in making it up to them, before they came for his head. Though reluctant, Kassandra assisted her old friend once more.[5][6]

Personality and characteristics

Markos' catchphrase was "Everybody benefits", usually preceded by a suggestion of how he and whoever he was talking with could help each other.[2]
