Biography
Selene, like many townsfolk idolized Icarus,a famous chariot racer from the Prasina Green, the team that both her sons Halius and Icarius were part of. When Icarus died in 48 BCE, memorials were held across town in honor oh him.[1] When Selene and her sons went to paid respect to Icarus, members of the Veneta Blue jeered at his death, causing Halius to spit in their faces. In retaliation, the Veneta Blues stucked him down with a sword, stole a bust of Icarus before running away.[2]
Selene's younger son Icarius chased after the killers. Fearing for her son's danger, she enlisted the help of the Medjay, Bayek, to rescue Icarius and retrieve the bust. Bayek eventually did so, saving Icarius and retrieving the bust of Icarus. As a token of appreciation, Selene offered to make an offering to Icarus and the Prasina Green in Bayek's honor, which he declined and asked the offering to me made for his son instead.[2]
