Parmys
Parmys was the wife of Gyras, a naval engineer based in Patrai, Achaia during the 5th century BCE.
Biography
During the Peloponnesian War, Parmys' husband was employed by Phila, the Magus of the Order of the Storm, to work on a devastating weapon for her warship, the Skylla. In order to keep Parmys safe, Gyras was forced to comply and work under Phila, while under the supervision of Megakreon, a member of the Order of the Storm.[1]
Around 422 BCE, Parmys was present at a shipbuilding symposium in the city's amphitheater, giving a speech to the audience with her husband in attendance. Later however, her husband was killed by Megakreon and his guards, having discovered the engineer's treachery by providing the Spartan misthios Kassandra the whereabouts of the weapon blueprints. Nevertheless, the engineer's death was avenged when Kassandra arrived shortly thereafter and killed Megakreon and his guards with the help of the Persian Darius.[2]
Parmys, having witnessed this, approached Kassandra, informing her that Gyras had hidden code books throughout the shipyard and Achaia that would allow Kassandra to install the weapon on her own ship.[3]
Behind the scenes
