Profile
Why Kynaios and Tiro matters
Kynaios and Tiro challenged Agnomakhos, the archon whose empire had ruled their people for generations. Their love and commitment to freedom helped rally a resistance that defeated him.
Meletis rose from the fallen empire. Its people chose the lovers as guardians, tying the city's beginning to liberation rather than inherited rule.
