Description

I do not like the flag of the Achilles because it is more like Spiderman.
The new one is an authentic Greek symbol.

Ohh thats why the ant is the symbol of the old flag/banner of Achilles, of Phthia

GhOsT Correctly, and in Greek language the ant called Myrmigi. That`s why Myrmidons!

Hera, queen of the gods, sent a plague to kill all the human inhabitants of Aegina because the island was named for one of the lovers of Zeus. King Aeacus, a son of Zeus and the intended target of Hera along with his mother, prayed to his father for a means to repopulate the island. As the ants of the island were unaffected by the sickness, Zeus responded by transforming them into a race of people, the Myrmidons. They were as fierce and hardy as ants, and intensely loyal to their leader. Because of their antly origins, they wore brown armour.

After a time, Aeacus exiled his two sons, Peleus and Telamon, for murdering their half-brother, Phocus. Peleus went to Phthia and a group of Myrmidons followed him to Thessaly. Peleus's son, Achilles, brought them to Troy to fight in the Trojan War. They feature as the loyal followers of Achilles in most accounts of the Trojan War.

I have a mod for Crusader Kings III that lets you create/edit your family's banner. All the graphics are from the game itself. One of the symbols is an ant just like Achille's banner in Troy TW. These two games are literally the only examples I've ever seen of an ant used in heraldry. But the fact that two games from unrelated companies both including this tells me it may very well have been used at some point in history between antiquity and the medieval age. I'm just throwing this out there; it's not a commentary about this mod (which I like).

Love the flag you made. Thanks
Can you please make a flag for Sparta like the one from Total War Rome 2 with this logo ^ instead of the Bull they use now?

Decius Maximus you have to put it above other mods that maybe change the appearance of the emblems.
