Playable Characters[]
Asterion The Minotaur: The fabled half-bull man kept locked in the Labyrinth at Krete isn't such a bad guy. He just likes the taste of Athenians. But when Theseus, one of the latest crop of sacrifices, burns down the palace and kidnaps his sister Ariadne, Asterion must take the bull by the horns and leave his lair to face off against the world's fear and hatred of those branded 'monster'.
Theophilos The Cynic: A former student of Socrates, Phil was just a bit too practical to follow in his teacher's 'pure' philosophical footsteps; he preferred the luxury of food, clean clothing, and a roof over his head. And while his ex-mentor would point to this unforgivable sellout as the reason he never came up with an original theory, Phil still believes there's a profound truth out there somewhere waiting for him to put it into words.
Petrakles The Athlete: Everything's better without pants, that's amateur athlete Petrakles' motto! All those prudes who say that nude grocery shopping is going too far are just jealous. But it's going to take more than rippling biceps for this Olympic hopeful to discover the truth about the accusations that may have put an end to his dream for good.
Phoebe The Priestess: It's not easy being the younger sister of the most beautiful woman in the world. Doomed to spinsterhood in the shadow of the infamous Helen of Troia, Phoebe chose to use her keen mind and gift for prophecy to pursue her calling as a hunter and priestess of Artemis.
Daimonea The Goddess: No one likes to have their life chosen for them by an accident of birth, not even the children of gods. Faced with a gloomy future helping her father run the Underworld, Daimonea escapes to the mortal realm, determined to find her own destiny - one that doesn't involve listening to the complaints of the dead for all eternity.
Custom Character: And then, there are those not born to greatness, but who rise from the mists of obscurity to seize it for themselves. Merchant or mercenary, mortal or something more... only the Fates know your destiny, traveler. What legend will YOU be?
