I did some Wikipedia research for the Eagle Bearer's Spartan royal lineage as it would exist in real-life (initially on Queen Gorgo) and found out who filled Leonidas's throne in the duarchy after his death. Leonidas's only son was a minor at the time, so Leonidas's brother Cleombrotus (or Kleombrotos since AC:OD goes with delatinized greek) was regent. And then Kleombrotos's son... Pausanias. Myrinne and Pausanias are 1st cousins.
I have yet to get to the Fate of Atlantis DLC series... is he receiving his just torment for betrayal of family and realm in Tartaros?
EDIT 1: Changed his 3 to stop him being as over powered
EDIT 2: Balanced his ult.
EDIT 3: Changed his heals into protections

Aristodemus was king of the people called the Dorians. Aristodemus, and his brothers had just begun invading Greece from the north and were planning, and about to launch a campaign to take the southern peninsula of Greece known as Peloponnesus by ship, though Aristodemus died by a lightning strike. His brothers, Temenus, and Cresphontes, who also led the Dorians went on to successfully take the peninsula. According to legend, these three brothers were descendants of the great demi-god monster slayer Heracles, or as westerners called him, Hercules. Because Aristodemus was struck by lightning, and he was no longer able to claim his prize which was the entire kingdom of Sparta, his award was left behind to young twin sons, Eurysthenes and Procles.
The Dorians who saw Aristodemus as their king, did not know what to do with two equal heirs. The elders of Aristodemusโ state decided they must consult the oracle at Delphi as what next to do. With two completely legitimate heirs, they asked the oracle at Delphi, and according to Herodotus she said: โLet both be taken to be kings; but let the elder have the greater honour.โ This was the first kingdom in the west to become a double king state around 1250 BC. This was how the ruling dynasties of the Eurypontid, and Agiad began, lineages which would continue on for one thousand years. This event was about 80 years after the time of Agamemnon and the capture of Troy.
When Greece fell into the dark ages not long after and the Mycenaean age ended, Sparta maintained stability and re-emerged as a leader of the Greek world once the classical age began. This continued up until the Greco-Persian wars.

This video describes Spartan women as being highly liberated and autonomous for their time in history, that they wore revealing clothes and often did sports naked in the presence of men. He also says that women in Sparta were permitted to have two husbands, so that their children could have two inheritances. What features of life ancient Sparta would have made this female empowerment possible? Was it simply the absence of men, since men were away fighting wars?
