The Cicones: Difference between revisions

The Cicones lived off of the southwestern coast of Thrace in the northeast Aegean Sea. They inhabited the city of Ismarus, which was attacked by Odysseus and his sailors. The men became fat from all of the Cicone wine and and butchering of their animals. Their refusal to leave Cicone even upon Odysseus urgent request, left them open for attack by a regrouped Ciconean militia, in which zombies infested the troops and caused a race of [[Lystregonians]] to sprout from the rotting corpses of the [[Achaeans]].
