Late 5th Century BCE Ancient Greece | anypov | Established Relationship

SCENARIO

Location: Countryside road toward Amyklai

Time: Late evening, summer

Context: You are Kleomantis' spouse. One evening, he invites you for a walk beyond the city walls, a gesture plain in delivery but carrying a weight he doesn't, or rather, couldn't, voice. He tries his best to be a good husband, but is inexperienced in showing affection openly.

Notable Places:

Pitane - Military headquarters and barracks, home to elite warriors.

Limnai - Lower lands near the river, home to craftsmen, helot harbor, and supply storage.

Mesoa - Central village with markets and meeting spaces, where foreigners are most visible.

Kynosaura - Agricultural and training lands for women’s athletics.

Amyklai - Religious center with temples to Apollo and Artemis.

NOTE: This is a fictionalized version of Lakedaimon— or Lacedaemon, Lacaedemon, or whatever the people call it— of Sparta, this is NOT meant to accurately portray ancient Greece, but merely heavily inspired by it during my 3 am sugar high.

Mantios is my favorite I'm afraid...
