Brutal Barracks Attack in Sparta
Last night thirty-two men were killed in a brutal attack on a Spartan barracks. This attack occurred nine kilometers outside Sparta itself. The guards on the scene say that shield were stolen in addition to the massacre. They also believe that approximately thirty armed crooks, maybe even more were involved. The Spartan inspectors say that the gang members were probably armed with assassin knives, bows, arrows, broad swords, and even a battering ram.
Soldiers from Sparta have been dispatched to intercept this gang. Investigators are now saying that this particular gang may be connected to many of the recent robberies and crimes in local areas. The oligarchy of Sparta has assured us that they will deal swiftly with this ever growing threat.
This most recent attack has left twenty Sentries dead and twelve more in critical condition. The guards believe the thieves used grappling hooks and scaling ladders to scale the initial wall; killing one guard and disabling two other sentries guarding the door. They used a battering ram to penetrate the barracks, murdering yet another sentry. They then brutally annihilated five guards that patrolled the corridor before gaining access to one of the sleeping quarters and attacked the sleeping men there before they knew what hit them. This roused the neighboring rooms and the men quickly gathered their weapons and armor, but the infiltrators had already made their escape.
“It was the worst attack of the barracks in ten years. I can’t believe Ares would let this happen to us,” said Alexander, a surviving sentry.
The generals request the names of the fallen not be given at this time out of respect of their comrades. Although it is unclear how these buglers were able to obtain the weaponry, plan such a calculated attack or even what their motives are at this time; what is clear is that these people are very dangerous and should be apprehended immediately.

Assassination of Julius Caesar: Impeach the Senators!
A week after the assassination of our Dictator Julius Caesar, the convicted masterminds of this plot; Tillious Cimber, Servilius Casca, Decimus Brutus, Marcus Brutus, Minucius, and Rubrius, and 54 others are facing death. The conspirers met a few times in the public and in the privet confines of their homes. They had grown tired of Caesars constant selfishness and his declaration of his being dictator for life. They came to the conclusion that the only way to resolve this problem was to assassinate Caesar. Many plots were proposed, and ideas of when to perform the endeavor were thrown about; However only one idea was logical. Assassinate Caesar as he sat alone in the Senate, where non-senators were not admitted and they could hide daggers underneath their togas. They continued on with their plot and killed their ruler. Caesar was stabbed over thirty times, however a physician confirmed that only one stab was considered fatal. These men have a committed terrible crime but their many years of service to our land and people deserve recognition. As they face exile or death, I propose that we impeach them from the Imperial Senate and save them and their families the dishonor of public execution. The murder of our leader is devastating, and at a time of great prosperity, we take back a few steps back. In one week time a public vote will be held to decide what is to become of these men. In the main time the will remain in the senate, their voting rights suspended. Please, vote to impeach these men for if we don’t they will be removed by force and a public execution will be held. Great shame will come upon there families name, and they will forevermore be remembered by one man’s blunder. To remove them from office will save their good name, and they will be exiled, never to return to the lands of the great Roman Empire. You have much to repay these public servants, so give it back and do the honorable thing.

Our Darkened Years
Do you remember the time when we, the people of Crete, thrived? Those were great years, yes, but how long ago was that? Dear Cretans, we are in a recession and it is imperative that we do something about it.
Ah, you don’t believe me, I see. Well, when was the last time you saw an overseas trade boat in the dock, or a farmer growing food for someone besides their own family? When was the last time you saw a fellow Cretan teaching others how to write or do craftwork? Do you, like many others, not remember when? Due to this rate of change, we’ll soon forget our written language and how to make many things. Cretans, we must act!
Let us start with the problem. Why is it that we are suffering? Because we have a handsome island of our own? We have never had many attackers; therefore that is not the problem. Our problem is something we cannot fix with swords and spears. Our problem is Mother Nature. Our kingdoms have crumbled due to earthquakes, and it is crucial that we do something about it!
What do I propose we do? I say we move, to the islands in the Aegean Sea and Asia Minor. Our mainland is doing it, so why not us?
If we move out of our wonderful island of Crete, we could spread Greek culture. We could start colonies. We could get the resources of other lands and the resources of Crete. My fellow Cretans, this should be our future!
What do I want you, citizens of Crete, to do? Spread this idea to all of Crete. To the King! Start gathering your belongings and saying good bye to your homeland! If you want a better future for you, your family, and your friends, move and be the first to start colonies! Get the best farm land; I’ve heard it’s first come, first serve! My fellow Cretans, this is our future!

Macedonia? Threat or Ally
Today Demosthenes preached his third philippic he had good reasoning and a great idea on how to help prepare for a Macedonian invasion. Demosthenes sees that Philip has broken his peace treaties and attacked where he knows where he can win. Philip has already conquered many lands and is growing more powerful by the second. He is one our biggest threats and he possesses the resources needed to become far more powerful than us. Philip II has practically surrounded us with his territory and there is little doubt that we will be attacked next. We cannot fall like others before us who have blindly fallen to weaker enemies because they were tricked. If we do not act and just sit, idle there is a great chance that we will be destroyed. We need to act now Demosthenes has suggested that we send out messengers to unite the Greeks against his army and send resources to our to the armies. I think that we need to prepare for battle we must attack now before Macedonia gets any stronger. We need to have a government that sees beyond the lies of a traitor. We have been weakened by the many wars that have recently occurred and inner turmoil has weakened us further but we still must stand against are enemies and face the challenges ahead. Macedonia is growing very fast and they have broken almost all of its peace treaties. I think everyone should be able to see the threat that Macedonia represents and if our government can’t see it I definitely think it is time for change. I think that the people of Greece need to start acting if the government doesn’t. I believe that many others can see this threat as well as other cities in Greece. Action must be taken to prevent our doom. As Demosthenes said “We need not speculate about our future but to assure it will be disastrous if do not act now.” For all the people who think Macedonia are a threat to all of our lives you should say so in our next town meeting. We need to change our ways to lead to good not sit idle and fail.

Hermes Has Disappeared!
By: Gillis Wang, Bolognapolis Representative
Travelers, fishermen, and tradesmen have lately been experiencing difficulties and becoming misfortunate. The cause for this ruckus is because Hermes has gone missing from society! This will affect their direct lives but will eventually affect the lives of you and me.
Hermes, messenger of the gods. He is also the god of merchants and commerce, athletes and travel, public speaking, shepherds and thieves. His command is wide spread.
Without this character in our society, everything eventually will come crashing down.
We have lately been informed by major agencies like the Ancient Greek Polise Department and the National Board of Investigation that Hermes was not present at the most recent press and Olympian conferences. We’ve also been contacted by the “Big Three”.
Zeus reported that he last saw Hermes helping as a spy and messenger in the Battle of Marathon. He also states that he may have passed down to Hades’ Underworld to recover from his long, 26 mile run from the Marathon Plains back to the city.
Hades response to the question was: “What? No one ever visits me, whether they are here for business or for leisure, no one comes! There’s nothing for him to do here!” Hades later said he hasn’t seen or heard from his brother for over two months. “And I don’t really care,” he says. But he does know about his disappearance from rumors and also has been informed about the victory runner from Marathon. According to Hades, there has been close to no action regarding Hermes, politically or leisurely.
Poseidon was able to provide the same amount of information Hades had. To add to that, he says, “It makes sense that Hermes and that messenger are somehow connected”. He also said that a God would be able to recover much more quickly than the time that he has been missing.
NBI has provided us Intel. However, it cannot be written down or said for it is not final. It is still an open case.
Based on the information, I would like to suggest that somewhere along the lines, Pheidippides and Hermes are connected.
As Representative of the Strait of Salamis, I propose that everyone be on the lookout for further clues on the disappearance of Hermes and the possible whereabouts. Any clues, please report to the NBI.
