Mythical Warriors of Sparta

Meet the mighty Spartan Deadly Alliance team, Mythical Warriors of Sparta.

With 300: Rise of an Empire is released in some countries in Europe while the U.S. release is underway on March 7, I've drawn this team for the inspiration from 300 and God of War video game series. Yep, you heard me right. God of War main games release in this month of March. Did you know that March is also Mars, the Roman God of War? I know I do.

I played the only game called God of War: Chain of Olympus and beat the game on Easy mode but the hardest mode is very, VERY tough to me. Overall, God of War series is one of the most popular Playstation franchise with comics, toys, and of course adaptation for the novel book based on the first game. Now Santa Monica studio layoff-ed employees despite God of War: Ascension was a very good game, God of War remained as legend. With the PS4 is now on the market, we can hope that God of War IV will be announced very soon, that's my opinion of course. I'm sure of it. With Greek gods are out of the picture although Athena is still remain alive only in her spirit form, we'll see if he takes on the Persian Empire and their Persian Gods or he can take on any gods like Egyptians, Norse, or Romans-- oh wait, that's the counterpart of the Greek Gods. If it's a battle against Egyptian or Persian or Norse in the sequel, that will be awesome. But there's a hint while you play God of War: Ascension, there's a painting of the world shinned by the light with the texts said "When the earth stops, the journey begins..." It's more than a Easter Egg, it's a hint of God of War's future. I've checked on the internet.

We'll have to wait for the announcement once The Order: 1886 is released later this year.

Long time ago before I joined deviantArt, I created the team of Greek mythical creatures with inspirations from God of War. But when 300 was super popular at the time of 2006 and I played a shameless God of War ripoff game called Hero of Sparta, I decided to make their look of distinguished Spartan vibe with their badass attitudes like Spartans.

While I made a team of Spartan mythical warriors based on Greek mythologies, Lernado the Spartan Hydra was a broken and tragic hero and now I made hime a hardcore and serious character who loves to kill his foes with glory and without mercy. Think of it as he's like Kratos and Spartan King Leonidas.

Enjoy my artwork, you guys!

Leader: Lernado

Alignment: The Temple of the Ancients

Allies: Basilisk Warriors, Angel Justice, Philosopher of Titans, Labyrinth Minotaurs and the Harbingers of Olympus

Mythical Warriors of Sparta is the Greek Deadly Alliance and the Ancient Deadly Alliance as well the team members of the UN-GDI and the Temple of the Ancients. The fiercest Spartan platoon of the mighty beast warriors fight for the glory and justice of Sparta. They can crush millions of invading armies and the Brotherhood of Chaos.

Lernado was the captain of the Spartan Hydra Army. He began to commands with 50 soldiers but soon he commands over a thousand. During the battle, his tactics were brutal but effective. Drunk with power and strength, he crushed every army in his path with too many blood on his mere sword and shield. But his war victory streak was about to end when the Babylonian Army crushed his army and was about to be defeated the Babylonian general but soon Lernado discovered his Aura saved him and overpowered him and took the twin sharp blades with chains from corpses. And with it, he slain the Babylonian general and his army in  massive killings and saving his men's lives. And with that act, he returned to Sparta as hero and champion.

Days after his last victory, Lernado found a new weapon for combat and that weapon he took it from the battlefield will be the perfect fit the traditional sword and shield as one. He spent his day working at his own smithery, sharping his blades with fire and customizing with Spartan materials. Then he went to the land of Harpies where they created the powerful burning Chain of Ares and chained around his arms and his blades as well testing his physical strength with pain.

For days, he spent his training for his newfound weapon in days and nights until the King of Sparta was impressed and was chosen to lead a special platoon of powerful Spartan Beast-men has to offer.

Ten years of his glory in previous wars, the Spartan Captain Lernado was in spar with Evinos the Spartan Centaur of River Euenos, Erymanthos the Spartan Boartaur of Mount Erymanthos; and Nemearos the Spartan Anthro-Lion Warrior of Nemea. But when their training was interrupted, their capital was under attacked by the barbaric Beast-men and they must repelled their raids. During their repel, they were joined by Harpilyta the Spartan Harpy; Aegis the Spartan Sea Serpent; Taurokles the Spartan Minotaur; Medesa the Spartan Gorgon; Chyrsospouli the Spartan Aviak-like Stymphalian Bird of Arcadia; Erisa the Spartan Fury; Ladonides the Spartan Dragonkind; Barbara the Spartan Sphinx; Chymero the Spartan Chimera of Mount Chimera; Haides the Spartan Wrath; Nikomachos the Spartan Anthro-Griffin Warrior; the Spartan Wolfen Pack known as the Cerberus Brothers, Anubis, Orthus, and Androkles; Enyo the Spartan Maenad; Narkissa the Spartan Nymph; and Helicon the Spartan Pegasus, and pushed the invaders back and out of the city walls until the Spartan's reinforcements have arrived, Paracharaktis the Spartan Cyclops and Spartalos the Spartan Talos, then rushed to the Spartan King's palace to secure their ruler.

But lucky and relieved to them, the palace was secured and the Spartan King is unharmed and managed to capture one of the Beast-men invaders. Before Lernado executed the prisoner with the permission from the king, they've learned that these Beast-men barbarians were hired by unknown forces and this time, it was not Persia after the war is over but it was the enemy from within Olympus and declared war on Sparta.

Captain Lernado and his fellow Spartans were sent Delphi to speak with the Oracle and to do that, they must bring the Olive as the offer. After they retrieve the offer, they visited to the Oracle for their answers for their King and learned the new enemy is the Titan cult's army known as the Telkins, dedications to their fallen rulers they've worshipped before the Gods of Olympus overthrown them; However, they have to find a true enemy with a riddle.

After they brought the news about the enemy within the New Olympia, Sparta went to war after the Telkins have desecrated the statue of Ares and thus the Spartan platoon were sent by the Spartan King into war against the Telkins' Beastmen hordes and eradicate the cult from the face of Sparta as their ultimatum.

Lernado and his fellow Spartans were sent into war against the Telkins and their evil allies at the Satyrs' Fields where the war-band of Telkinese Satyrs are camped there and set it up for war on the Spartans which they've destroyed the camp one by one until all the remaining forces fled until they're ended up dead. There they've found Orineus the Spartan Satyr who hasn't returned to Sparta for quite some time ago and Orineus quickly joined up with them.

There up to the Hills of Arcadius, Lernado and his fellow Spartans meet the local army to fight the Telkinese Army where they've camped at the Nightmare Gates with hundreds of thousand Beast-Men, savaged barbarians, and cultist warriors. Despite of overwhelming numbers, the Spartans have a plan to lure each battalion into as their defense points at the rocky narrow pass in the Leonidas Gates. They spotted the Telkinese scouts and killed them then use them as part of their construction of the wall which it has also brought attention to their army.

Then the battle begins as the first wave of Telkinese Army and the Spartans formed a phalanx formation to hold their force off from advancing and pushed them off from the cliffs to the sea. In their first victory, their battle has won but it's not yet over when more waves of the Telkinese Army are coming on their way.

Wave after wave after wave and after wave within days, the Spartans are still standing in bloody battles, killing every Beast-Men on their sight and put their bloody corpses of their foes lay to waste like the river of blood and stenches of smelly dead bodies of exact 900,000 Telkinese soldiers, possibly 95% of their casualties. With the last wave of Telkinese Army are wasted, the Spartans are exhausted and managed to hold them as they rest for three days.

After three days of well-earned rest, the reinforcements from New Sparta have arrived and the Spartans are heading to the Telkinese Army's camp then suddenly when they've arrive, the camp has been isolated by the losses. All 100,000 are either captured, committed suicide, or surrendered to them but as Spartans, they don't take prisoners so they killed without mercy if their weak enemies still able to fight while they mockingly laughed at these fallen foes. With the Telkins' million army is destroyed and effectively wiped out, the Spartans discovered another war plan and that war plan is taking place near Olympus City.

The Spartans are now heading back to New Sparta for the news of their victory but with serious impending news about their next evil plan.

As Lernado and his fellow Spartans returned to New Sparta, they were assigned by the Spartan King as they were sent to Olympia City to hold the Telkinese invaders off with 300.000 Spartan Beast-Men from every kingdom. Before they were sent to defend the city, Lernado shown the war plan and the tactics were very similar to the Spartan Army's tactics. And it was turned out that it was the true mastermind of war on Sparta was the exiled Spartan captain of Lerna named Krades the One-Hooked Hydra which he had returned with the Telkins and other barbarian armies for revenge of his own glory. Shocking news reached to his ears, Lernado was fueled with rage and anger and vowed to destroy him and his army once and for all.

At the city wall of Olympia City, Lernado and his Spartans are at the ready for counterattack as the Telkinese Army approached with other barbarian armies and Lernado's nemesis on his sight. Then the battle begins and the Spartans are holding them off as long as they can but then the Telkinese Army have breached the city walls and the gates. Chaos ensues as the battle grows wider and wider as well the Chaos spread across the city but the Spartans repelled them while Lernado is in pursuit on Krades at the Temple of Ares where his nemesis attempting to steal his power and desecrating the God of War but Lernado managed to stop him. Then his battle against his nemesis began as they clashed each other with their own weapon.

During his battle against him, he learned the truth about him and his family, it was about Lernado's family that they were murdered by his conspirators while he was away to the battle against the Babylonians during the second invasion. With the truth comes out, Lernado was more enraged than ever then suddenly he unlocked his Aura with the essence from Ares' boon as he became the Beast of Sparta and more powerful than ever. The battle continues as Lernado clashed his nemesis for the final time throughout the city and defeated him as he kicked off to the endless bottom at the cliff near the city.

With his nemesis dead and his family finally avenged, the battle for New Olympia is over and peace has been restored once more.

Lernado and his fellow Spartans returned New Sparta as war heroes. Their names will be remembered throughout his history. But their taste of battle has begun.

In the 21st century, Lernado and his Spartans were seen at the modern city in Sparta where they beat the extremist group in a bloody pulp before the police arrived to arrest them for hate crime.

Later they were found by the UN-GDI and recruited them as part of the Deadly Alliance to battle the evil forces of the Brotherhood of Chaos and Krades who was supposed to be dead. Now it's on for the Spartans to battle against evil in the name of Sparta and for honor, glory, and justice.
