Narkissos
Narkissos was a cave by a lake on Mount Helikon in Boeotia, Greece.
During the Peloponnesian War, a pack of wolves had made the cave their home when the Spartan misthios Kassandra was exploring the mountain. She killed the leader of the pack and claimed what valuables laid within the cave.[1]
