"The pirate ship Tartessos is said to originate from the pillars of Herakles and often ventures into our sacred Aegean Sea to attack merchant ships. Kick it back to where it came from."

Promotional picture of the Tartessos

The Tartessos was a legendary pirate trireme sailing the Aegean Sea, all the way from its native waters around the Pillars of Hercules.

Claimed for their own by the pirates, the bandits used the ship to attack merchant ships on the Aegean, until the Adrestia commanded by the Spartan misthios Kassandra and captained by Barnabas, engaged the Tartessos and her companions in battle, and sank it during the Peloponnesian War. Kassandra claimed the sail and finery of the Tartessos for her own.[1]
