What other character(s) beside the main character is really important to the story? How and why?

One character that is important to the story is Timeon. Timeon is Lysander's best friend. He experiences the same things as Lysander by working in the fields every day. Since they both think the same way they train just in case they would have to fight for their people (the helots) in a war against the Spartans. They always help each other out by giving each other food when needed or just helping out with jobs needed to be done. Without Timeon, Lysander wouldn't have the strength to move on.


Which character would you like to be like? In what way? Why?

I would like to be like Lysander because he is very brave. He always has the strength to keep on going and always has the will to work twice as much as needed for himself so that he could afford medicine for his sick mother. Even when he still worked twice as much he didn't always get what he needed. Because of this he was always getting disappointed but Timeon always made him get happy again.
