Zopheras was a Spartan noblewoman and the daughter of Zita who lived during the 5th century BCE.
Biography[]
The only daughter of Zita, a Spartan noblewoman, with multiple brothers, Zopheras was headstrong and refused to do as her mother wished, desiring the same freedom she saw her brothers enjoying. This led to multiple clashes between the mother and the daughter, enough for the magistrate of Pitana, Xanthe, to ask the misthios Kassandra help them in 429 BCE.[1]
Zopheras and Zita were found by Kassandra outside the Temple of Athena Chalkioikos. As the situation was explained to her, she agreed to train Zopheras to behave as a Spartan woman should. First was a running race, although Zopheras was far from keen. After the running race, Kassandra suggested a horse race. Then Zopheras told Kassandra of a place with a nice view and so they trotted up to a nearby hill, spending some time alone enjoying the view.[2]
