Photina

Photina was a Naxian woman active during the Peloponnesian War on the island of Naxos.

Years ago, Photina married a sailor named Meliton. however when her husband went out sailing and did not return, Photina assumed he was dead. Before he disappeared, Meliton gave Photina his medallion necklace.

In around 428 BCE, Photina met and fell in love with Barnabas, captain of the Adrestia. She tattooed his back and braided his hair during the months they were together. When Barnabas was called away by the Spartan misthios Kassandra to sail to Sparta, Photina and Barnabas parted ways. As a parting gift and as a token of their short love Photina gave Barnabas an medallion, previously owned by her husband. Although the two enjoyed each other's company, Barnabas' seafaring lifestyle led them apart.
