Roxana was a Hydrean champion who lived during the Peloponnesian War. The sole survivor among her family of the Battle of One Hundred Hands, Roxana trained hard in order to participate in the tournament to bring glory to her family.

In around 431 BCE, she met the misthios Kassandra, with whom she grew close.[1]
