The Spartan agora was buzzing with activity just like any marketplace throughout history.
It may not be as big on trading as Athens, since Spartans tend to be a little more reclusive from the way that their history and geography had influenced them. But there was still much to see and explore, and as long as you had a few coins to spare, then you were bound to enjoy your time there.
The crew had combined all that they had to spare just to buy medicine for the newborn child, which they had named Phoinixe. Deriving from the phoinix/foinix, the Ancient Greek term for phoenix, the mythical bird that represents rebirth.
Obviously, it was because she was 'born once more', but her mother's name also happened to be from a bird of the myths, the Queen Phene who turned into a bearded vulture or what was called lammergeier. So it felt right to name her after a bird too, and a bird that rises above death from the flames and ashes.
