Topic: Spartoi


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Exhibition
Spartoi and Golem together form the series called MASSA or Masse.I am obsessed with these German or Latin words that have the vowels A or E at the end (fifth) of the letters.
Spartoi means "the sowed;" it has the same root as "sperma" which means seed, sperm.
Spartoi implies warriors born out of the serpent's teeth and their descendents, the Thebesians.

Spartoi Daye, the lowest rung on the military ladder, named after the hero of the first war, climbed the ranks and spearheaded the final offensive of the war, a massive, suicidal march into the Siko-Dekan capital itself.
The armies of Isica and Siko-Deko almost completely annihilated, it was Spartoi Daye who ran three miles to the bunker of Marcoi Gavelle, wounded twelve times by shrapnel as the Siko-Dekans began shelling their own capitol.
Then, it was Spartoi Daye who killed Marcoi Gavelle in honorable combat, both of them dead from over thirty stab wounds.

 The Raven's Haven -> Hellmouth
IMO two Spartoi's is no more or less common than if you used one.
I respectfully report that dual spartoi's is mere ammo overkill, and there is nothing in terms of tactics that you'll do with two that you can't do with one.
Replacing one of the spartoi's with the oc/15 will not hurt your tactical play at all, and you'll still do well against a wide range of AC's.

To engage in combat that depends on agility, you must be able to use a bow and dagger skillfully, rather than a sword or axe.
The Spartoi have a greater tendency to drop bones for this quest, so hunt them in the northwest portion of the inner-ruins.
Spartoi Skeletons are at Ruins of AGONY *not* Despair.

 Greek Mythology: SPARTI SPARTOI Men Sown from Dragon's Teeth
THE SPARTOI were a race of warlike, earth-born warriors, which sprang fully grown, armed and ready for battle from the sown teeth of a Drakon sacred to the war-god Ares.
The ghosts of the Spartoi were believed to haunt the sacred field of Ares near Thebes.
The descendants of the Spartoi all bore distinctive birth marks (perhaps in the shape of a serpent), indentifying them as members of the Spartoi clan.

 The THeban Saga
The Spartoi were the ancestors of the noble families of Thebes.
Labdacus is reported as the son of an obscure son of Cadmus, by the name of Polydorus, and Nysteis, the granddaughter of Chthonius, one of the Spartoi.
Menoeceus, the son of Creon, and descendant of Echion, stood atop the walls of Thebes, and, stabbing himself, fell to his death.

Aeetes, the king of Cholchis, was given the teeth by Athena, and forced Jason to sow them in order to win the golden fleece.
Like Cadmus, Jason threw a stone among the spartoi to confuse them.
In the motion picture, Jason and the Argonauts, the Spartes are depicted as living skeletons.

 Shakati, Kyras (Star-Lord/Inhumans character)
However, he secretly had an alliance with Ronan the Accuser, who plotted to use the Inhumans as pawns to sabotage the union, and to assassinate Lilandra.
Shakati met with Jason of Spartoi and Captain P'Kkrd of the Shiar to discuss the recent attacks by the then-unknown Inhumans.
Referred to as loyal G'anym and faithful G'anym, he was Shakati's companion during the meeting of the Shiar and Spartoi.

That Telephassa leaves her husband and spends the rest of her life with her son Kadmos may be seen as foreshadowing the relationship of Iokaste and Oidipous, most famous of Kados' descendants.
According to Ovid, Kadmos was about to fight against the Spartoi when one of them shouted to him not to participate in their fratricidal war; when only five were left, Echion made peace with his brothers by order of Athena.
Some said that Harmonia was the daughter of Zeus and Elektra, Atlas' daughter, or that Aphrodite, ashamed of her adultery with Ares, gave Harmonia to Elektra to raise.

 Kadmos founder of Illyria
Athena now appeared and told Kadmos to plant half of the serpent's teeth in the ground; she kept the other half to give later to king Aietes of Kolchis, who will use them to test Iason when he comes in search of the Golden Fleece.
Armed warriors called Spartoi ("Sown-Men") grew from the planted teeth and began to fight one another, in some versions because Kadmos threw stones at them and they thought the other Spartoi were doing the throwing.
Kadmos himself was punished by having to serve Ares as a laborer for an "eternal year" (eight normal years); what he did during this time is a mystery.

Lycus, son of Cthonios (one of the spartoi), was tyrant of Thebes before Laius (at some time, not sure relationship); Lycus and Dirce kept Antiope in prison (Antiope, of course, being the mother of Amphion and Zethus, who built the walls of Thebes; and Zethus's wife, Thebe, gave her name to the city).
Jocaste is the daughter of another of the spartoi: Menoeceus.
His mother was Nycteis, granddaughter of Chthonius, who was one of the Spartoi (Apollodorus 3.5.5).

There was no doubt that Miyu would has going to try to take back, and Spartoi was not going to let her take his best friend away from him again.
Now he was regretting those thoughts for what she did to his best friends, for enslaving Larva and defeating Amy, but watching Larva battle Miyu personally was going to be a great sight to see.

 Cadmus.html
Athena, to whom Cadmus had been sacrificing the cow, now advised Cadmus to take the serpent's teeth and sow them; from the ground sprang up armed men, who fought and killed each other until only five were left.
From these five survivors, who were called Spartoi (i.e., "sown men"), descended the noble families of Thebes.
Now Cadmus had to appease Ares for the death of the serpent; he therefore became his slave for a year (which was the equivalent of eight of our years).

 Mythology forum - excoboard.com
I believe that the theme running through these myths is a cosmological one, as in the Vedic hymn of Purusha.
The Spartoi are the resurrected men of Cadmus, born from the very teeth that devoured them, after Cadmus crushed the serpent's head.
Also the destruction of the war-like Spartoi, caused by Cadmus when he cast stones among them, is paralleled by the destruction of the sons of Sagara (whose name means ocean), who tried to assault Kapila, and were reduced to ashes, but were later resurrected by the river Ganges.

They fought and fought and it seemed Giligand was gaining the upper hand using mean nasty tactics, very unchivalrous of him.
Just as it looked like the end of the good Spartoi Munch he leapt off the counter and as Giligand looked up he saw his end was upon him.
any way I already had some of the Spartoi model, from a free model site (can't remember which one) so I went with that, I increased the triangle count on those with a little progie I have, not too much or it gets all 'speckly'.

 Campsitarus: March 2006
If you have a Red Mage, pulling Lemures and Spartoi Sorcerers with Silence isn't too bad an idea, especially on the higher chains when you can't really afford to waste time waiting for the mob's spell to be interrupted before it comes running towards you.
Be careful of Sleepga II from the Lemures and Spartoi Sorcerers though.
BLM parties generally start the chain with Spartoi Warriors and build up to Lemures- rarely do they engage the Hati.
