Helen's kyrios has offered her hand in 💖💞marriage💞💖 :DDD 🎉🎉

We can't legally marry as metics :( but we will still hold a ceremony for our family and friends :)

My heart has been stolen and my thief's name is Helen! I spent likely more than I should have on this pendant to impress her. Wish me luck😼

I came to Athens to make my fortune as a fisherman, but being from Corinth has proven to be more of a problem than I originally thought. I cannot vote, I cannot own land, and finding an Athenian wife has proven impossible! Citizenship requires too much of us all😔

My father's helmet. Worn with pride in Corinth many many moons ago during The battle of the Crimissus. Athens is my home now, though I miss Corinth and my family dearly.

The fish have not been biting this week. It seems as though Poseidon has abandoned my endeavors🤨

In an effort to improve my conditions I plan to sacrifice three of my cattle to him🐂🐂🐂🗡️🩸
