Biography[edit | edit source]
Icarius, like his mother and elder brother, Halius, and many of the residents of Kanopos, idolized Icarus, a famous chariot racer of the Prasina Green. When Icarus died in 48 BCE, memorials were held across the Lageion Hippodrome and the town to commemorate his achievements.[1] To pay their respects, Icarius and his family attended one of the memorials held in front of the the town's tavern. During the mourning, they were interrupted by several members of the rival team, Veneta Blue, who jeered at the loss of Icarus. Angered, Halius spat in their faces, leading the Blues to strike Halius down with a sword before fleeing the site, taking a bust of Icarus with them.[2]
Icarius left his mother to weep over his brother's corpse, and chased after the Blues, attacking them. The Blues easily defeated Icarius and tied him up. Meanwhile, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa had met Selene and heard the story, followed the Blues and Icarius to the beach. The Medjay defeated the Blues and freed Icarius, who urged him to rettrieve the stolen bust, as well. While Icarius left for home, Bayek found the bust. [2]
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 be made for his son instead.[2]
