Biography
When Podarkes' efficient cruelty took its toll on Kyra's rebellion during the Peloponnesian War, she sent out calls for help to Sparta as well as to the "eagle-bearing misthios", Kassandra.[1]
Thaletas and a number of others were dispatched to the Silver Islands to combat the Athenian armies of Podarkes. Along the way their ship sunk, killing several of Thaletas' companions, including generals. Because of this, Thaletas assumed the role of the polemarch for the remaining Spartans.[1] [2] With the ship also sunk Thaletas' prized heirloom, the helmet of his grandfather, who had fought and fallen with King Leonidas at Thermopylai.[3]
When he first laid eyes on Kyra, something changed in Thaletas; he had left for the Silver Islands with the intent to kill Athenians, not fall in love. Meeting Kyra made him sure he'd never leave the islands.[2]
When he met Kassandra, his feelings for Kyra were confused, and he wasn't sure about them anymore.[2]
