Fanon:Eumenes Attalides

Eumenes Attalides is one of the many party-lovers in the generally upbeat Attalid family. Eumenes is also the "hunk" of the Attalid family, having the greatest affinity for physical prowess. In addition, Eumenes is also a book-lover, something that is not common in folks appreciating the need to exercise.

Main Article: Fanon:Attalidai

As a member of the royal family, Eumenes and the other Attalids, led by Philetairos who himself was a party-lover, pretty much made Attalid party a weekly (almost daily) ritual in Sunset Valley at the first timeline. As Philetairos' brother and a fellow party-lover, Eumenes gladly basked in the attention generated by their generous party hosting. Of course, their parties were of the highest class, and all those invited have rated their parties to be the best that they've attended, and to those who had experienced Alkmaionid parties, found Attalid parties even better. Of course, the Attalids' lavish lifestyle was quite costly to maintain, and Eumenes took an active role in earning money to pay off for their intensive partying. In fact, the Attalids despite their royal origins were perfectly fine with taking jobs, and sooner or later Attalids were the talk of the town.

Trivia

 * The Bookworm trait is a reference to the monarch this sim is aimed at portraying, Eumenes II of Pergamon, who was the monarch behind the construction of the Library of Pergamon which was second only to that of Alexandreia. In fact, it was because of this that Alexandreia refused export of papyrus, this consequently leading to the development (or to be exact, the refinement) of the parchment.
 * The Bookworm trait was also not originally there, although it was eventually added with the update of information (above) in place of the Excitable trait.


 * As mentioned in the Main Fanon page's trivia section, Philetairos and Eumenes's spacing is quite off (in the fanon, Philetairos and Eumenes are brothers): Philetairos is Attalos's Brother, who in turn was the father of another Attalos was was in turn the father of Attalos I, who was then the father of Eumenes II. Essentially Philetairos is 2 generations ahead of Eumenes. Similar issue is also present with the Romaioi Barbaroi, specifically that Flaminivs is somewhere around a century and a half ahead of Caesar, Pompeivs and Cato.
