Nikolaos of Sparta, also known as the Wolf of Sparta, was a Spartan general who lived in the middle of the 5th century BCE. With Myrrine, the daughter of King Leonidas, he was the step-father of Alexios and Kassandra latter of whom would become a renowned mercenary during the Peloponnesian War.[1] He was also the adoptive father of Stentor.

However, a catastrophe befell the family one fateful day when Kassandra were about a decade old, and in the aftermath, Kassandra was held responsible and was to be executed. Nikolaos steadfastly stood by this sentence and even personally attempted to carry it out, only for Kassandra to survive, and, in exile, grew up to become a legendary mercenary.[2]
