Beskrivelse
Cephalos was a very late patriarch within a well-arrived age of illustrious mythic personages. They had real biographies, although Cephalos' has suffered mostly expunction by Classical Greek Mythology. He and other founders of 'Houses' ruled within the Late Aegean Bronze Age, their realms at domination of both seas and mainland divisions that compose the Greek Peninsula. By this serialization, Cephalos becomes paramount for an earliest formative coalition of small navies that centered around earliest Greece's Saronic Gulf. Here we have a half century of his ascendancy within those Rim Powers from his birthplace in Eleusis, even as he's twice born royal by his Attican-born mother, Hers the acceded Diomeda, or High Princess, over Eleusis Sanctuary. She's also a greatly landed governess from her illustrious mother, Metiadusa. The Rim Powers of Cephalos' greatest intimacy were the Upper Isthmus, the three united parts of Attica, Salamis, and Aegina Islands. The parents of Cephalos influenced this shoreline coalescence by accepting and settling the turmoil and influx of many displaced persons from the north mainland, by movements of Aeolians and Aeolidans that characterized all his boyhood years at the beginning of the fourteenth century BC. Book I, Prelude to a Naval Genius, stages off Cephalos' mother, Hers and off his father, Deion, a martial-at-arms most capable of imbuing his son with the broad tactical repertoire he exercised at overland warfare and by dueling in melee. Throughout Cephalos' boyhood and early teenage years, his parents and extended royal family offer him ample resources and collaborations that would enable skilled artisan colleagues and ennobled comrades their own career ascendancies. Increasingly men nearest his age, they coalesce into the covert and compelling coalitions that bring the last ever imperial Minos over Crete to utter ruin. Book II, Cephalos and the Kekropids, brings us to Cephalos' teenage years, the 1370s BC, when his naval initiatives can confidently progress through the extensive peace and prosperity that his father, Deion, has created for all of the north mainland. There is a juggernaut of prodigious feats by Cephalos as he develops overland commerce by caravans and is assigned a gamut of shore offices and commands. This Third Archival Chronicle also introduces Skia of Aphidnai, the mortal incarnation of eos the Goddess of the Dawn, and Cephalos' greatest love. Book III, The Consort Prince of Magnesia, picks up in Cephalos' mid- to late teenage years, as he is establishing a coherent war navy and pursing maritime objectives for Attica. An invitation to court from the Princess of Magnesia can win him further naval advancements if he can outlast more mature rivals at feats of horse and chariot, dueling, and other physical ordeals.
