Graccus

Another of Kineas’s boyhood friends.

Graccus is dead before you get to know him in Tyrant, but he will recur as a set of memories for Kineas and for his lover, Niceas, in future books. Graccus is a middle-class boy whose father is probably a business associate of Kineas’s father, and through that connection receives the same education and ends up in the same exile. Friendship had real consequences in the ancient world.
