Aspasia thanked the girl and dismissed her. She was then joined by Phoibe, who informed her that Perikles had retired early from the symposium. Noticing her debate with Sokrates, she applauded her skill. She warned her not to drink wine that had been poisoned by Hermippos, saving her life and gaining her trust. Later in May, Aspasia officially made the acquaintance of Kassandra at one of Perikles' symposiums. Īspasia enters the Symposium, turning everyone's gaze Having known her relation to Deimos and her lineage, Aspasia sought to make use of her skills to bring down the Cult. Being informed of Kassandra's existence, Aspasia went to great lengths to assure her coming success by going so far as cover up her acts in Megaris. In 431 BCE, Aspasia hired Phoibe, an orphan girl from Kephallonia, who told her of Kassandra, now an adult having survived the fall and after become a renowned mercenary, her friend. Aspasia, having became disillusioned with what the Cult had become, devised various ways to bring down her order. By the time of the Peloponnesian War, Deimos became de-facto leader of the Cult with the original goal soon shifted according to Deimos' ideals. Īt some point Aspasia understood that Deimos was impossible to be fully controlled and he gained more power and influence within the Cult. He was later saved from death by the Cultist Chrysis and made into the the Cult's weapon, Deimos. However, not all went according to plan as Kassandra was also thrown from Mount Taygetos, seemingly killing two birds with one stone. She acted in the best interests of the Cult and the Greek world by having the Pythia Praxithea sentence the infant Alexios to death. Secretly operating as the Ghost of Kosmos, Aspasia became aware of the existence of Alexios and Kassandra, descendants of Leonidas. Far from being a passive actor, she was a tantalizing speaker who contributed to this high point of Athenian philosophy with her own brilliance. As a socialite, she actively fostered a culture of diverse thought by hosting parties and events for renowned politicians, artists, and philosophers of the age. With Perikles as the de facto ruler of Athens, Aspasia planted herself at the heart of the Athenian intellectual community.
