Photina

Photina was a Greek woman who lived on the island of Naxos during the 5th century BCE.

Biography

Years ago, Photina married a sailor named Meliton. Her husband gave her his medallion necklace before he went sailing. When he failed to return, Photina assumed he was dead.

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 spent together. Eventually, they parted ways When Barnabas was called back by his co-captain, the Spartan misthios Kassandra, to sail to Sparta. As a parting gift and as a token of their time spent together, Photina gave Barnabas the medallion that was given to her by her husband. Although the two enjoyed each other's company, Barnabas' seafaring lifestyle led them apart.
