Origin
The Atreus Lions story began in Ancient Greece, where four siblings had escaped from Sparta, two Brothers and two sisters. Where its society oppressed all four of them, but when they left Sparta for Athens the home of democracy, they weren't trained in any professions, the brothers were only taught be the perfect soldier, and the sisters, Never knew how to handle a job, because they just helped manage large properties that would be worked by dozens of slaves. The brothers never found a job at every single profession in the city and no men would marry the sisters. So eventually they turned to thievery, at first it started small, they would steal only small amounts of food to get by, but little by little their skills improved, soon they not only were stealing food but drachma (Greek currency) from everyone that they could find, they got rich off the poor and the rich, it became an addiction. This Caught the eyes of the Gods of Olympus, Notably Zeus, Athena, and Hermes. Athena and Zeus were furious, Zeus was enraged how they stole so much wealth from the poor, while Athena was Enraged because they had ravaged the wealth from Athens. But Hermes was a different story, he was very impressed with them, and took great interest in all of them, often favoring them. But one day, when one of their sisters was Pickpocketing a poor man, Zeus hurled a lightning bolt at her, killing her. They Three siblings knew that they had angered the Gods. So after mourning for their fallen sibling, The siblings went to Delphi, to speak with the oracle, so that they might reconcile with the Gods. The Oracle said that Zeus and Athena were Enraged how they stole from the undeserving and Athens, And demanded change. The three Siblings agreed, they would stop thievery. But after a few months, a thieving itch, if you will, came back. All there of knew that they had to steal something, but they feared the Gods retaliation if they did. So after meeting together, they would have an agreement, they would never take Dracme from poor or the rich, but the most deserving, and after their great heists, once a year, they would have a feast for all in Greece. So after They robbed blind the most corrupt and most Powerful men in Greece, they went back to Delphi to see if the Gods were Angered at their return to thievery. To their surprise, the Gods were very pleased. Years later, after one of their yearly feasts, Zeus, Athena, and Hermes came down from the heavens, and offered a contest of strength between the siblings. The victor of the contest would receive the blessing of Hermes, where they would have the powers of a lion. But to win one of the siblings would have to prove their strength and worthiness, by showing a feat of Strength by any means. But Zeus warned them, that only the Strongest would survive. The Siblings Accepted the contest, knowing the dangers.
One of the brothers, obsessed with blessings of the lion, and being the most violent of all the siblings, decided the best way to show real strength was to show that he was the greatest warrior in Greece. So he had bought what seemed to be unbreakable Armour that resembles a lion, and remarkably short but Deadly weapons, he called them the lion's claws. And so made his den in a cave near Nema, and terrorized Nema, killing many of its residents, to draw a great warrior out, but soon a son of Zeus, trapped him in his den, Strangled him with his bare hands, and took his seemly unbreakable armor for his own. The sister tried to pull off the greatest heist in ancient Greece, in attempting to rob Athens treasury, but in her hubris, she was caught, and she was stabbed to death by guards. But the last of the siblings, the most humble of all, decided the best way to show strength was to serve one's country and protect the people. So he enlisted in the Trojan war, but he was disappointed to learn that the war wasn't about defending Greece as the leaders of Athens as said, but it was to get a somebody's wife back, but he had no choice he had to fulfill his duty. But during watch one night after the sack of Troy, he saw hundreds of refugees heading to ships. He deserted his post and ferried them to Italy. They would later found a town named, Rome. When he returned home, The gods were impressed by his goodwill and courage and proclaimed him and all of his descendants the Atreus Lions.
