The sword of the day is the xiphos.

The xiphos is a short sword utilized by ancient Greek infantry as a backup weapon. A hoplite’s main weapon was their spear, so the xiphos was mainly used when the spear was lost or broken. Hoplites fought in phalanx formation, standing shoulder to shoulder with each soldier protected by their neighbor’s shield. A spear made it easy to attack from this formation, though the swords generally came out once the phalanx broke. The xiphos was mainly used for thrusting, though its leaf shaped blade made it a capable cutter as well.

Can we just talk about the fact that Brasidas never even pulls his knife during that warehouse entrance? Homeboy just comes in completely unarmed, riding on psychology and sheer audacity.

And somehow he gets away with it.

Because Brasidas.

#fucking brilliant #he does NOT get enough credit #and he gets a LOT of credit so that’s saying something #this little badass 😂#by the way…#is it a xiphos?#it seems like the wrong shape #Brasidas #port of lawlessness #ac Odyssey #ainulindaelynn

Cassie name thoughts:

Iphigenia- Daughter of Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra in the Iliad. After her father killed Artemis's sacred deer, she was sacrificed so that the Greeks could sail to Troy. Can be seen as the first victim of the war, but I see her as a martyr- taking on the burden of her father for the benefit of the Greeks. The name has connotations of sacrifice, duty, selflessness, justice, betrayal, divine power, and goodness. It is a bit girlish, which adult Cassie may not like.

Carthage- Ancient city-empire based in modern Tunis, but spread across N. Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Mediterranean. Known for it's powerful trade and navy. Shields were important religious/cultural symbols, which is interesting for an Amazon. They also had elaborate armor, with gold jewelry, animal pelts, and large helmet plumes. Its not a perfect name, but it fits the precent of city names that appear in Iliad-related epics (Troy is in the Iliad; Carthage is in the Aeneid) and it starts with a "C".

Calliope- daughter of Zeus, Muse of Epic Poetry, and (presumably) is the goddess invoked in the beginning of the Iliad. She doesn't have any battle connections outside of that, but is characterized as being trustworthy and level headed, as she judged a feud between Aphrodite and Persephone and didn't get smited for it. As the muse of Epic Poetry, something could be said about invoking her name for the continuation of legacies, creation of (one's own) stories, and divine inspiration. Plus, her name starts with a "C" and she's a daughter of Zeus. (Artemis of Bana Mighdall is named after a Goddess… so it's probably okay to use that name?)

Anyway, sorry for the wall of text. I have Many Mythology Thoughts - @doodling-fern (cause tumblr hates gays with side blogs)

these are all fun thoughts, yeah!! the "c" qualification does make me giggle a little but i dig it it's cute. :)

#doodling fern #the more i think on it the fonder i personally get of xiphos #but thats also def bc i think a butch lesbian with a cool sword is the sexiest possible option.
