Hippeis

Hippeis: Known as the ancient Greek version of knights, the felines that are titled as hippeis go into battle alongside the small Knossos Calvary and are well trained in working alongside horses and other large animals. When on the battle field, these felines often rush in to deal with the enemy's horses and supply lines, using their years of training to spook and even kill the larger creatures when the time calls for it. When they're not working alongside the human Hippeis, they're often helping the hoplites in battle. Speed and endurance are generally regarded highly among the hippeis, seeing as how you need to be able to keep up with a horse at full gallop.
