Zephyros Stables

The Zephyros Stables was a stable and estate located southwest of Kanopos in Egypt. It was owned by Philocrates, who used it to train horses for the Prasina Green racing team.

History

During the mid 1st century BCE, the estate was under the ownership of Philocrates, who lived with his son Nikias and Icarus, using it to train horses for the Prasina Green.[1]

In 48 BCE, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa visited the stables following an earlier meeting with Nikias at a tavern, because he was curious to try out chariot racing. At the stables, Bayek was introduced to Philocrates, who requested the Medjay take his son for a run around the town.[2]

During their absence, a group of bandits hired by the Veneta Blue stole Saganaki, one of Philocrates' horses. After they returned, Philocrates sent Bayek and Nikias to retrieve the horse from the bandits in the Als Hideout.[2]

Trivia

  • In Greek mythology, Zephyros was one of the Anemoi, a group of wind gods. Zephyros was the god of the West Wind and was known as the messenger of spring.
  • A Papyrus Puzzle can be found on the grounds of the estate.[3]
