| - Cecrops, the Lost Mariner of Athens, was trapped by Poseidon at sea, 300 years before the time of Xena. Athena then cursed him with immortality, meaning he could not die or escape from his eternal imprisonment. Anyone that would end up on Cecrops' ship would be killed if they attempted to leave. Whilst on his way to visit his wife, Terai, Poseidon and Athena cursed Cecrops, which forced him to roam the seas for eternity. Poseidon created a whirlpool known as "Charybdis" located in the same place as Terai's village. Poseidon told him that only redeemed love would save him from the curse, in the knowledge that he could never love again. Many years later, Xena and Gabrielle become a part of Cecrops' cursed crew and showed Cecrops their redeemed love. Xena worked out that the key was in Charybdis. Cecrops threw himself into the whirlpool and awoke on land with the rest of his crew. Cecrops was finally free of the curse, along with his crew.
- Cecrops was an individual from the Collective of Mulch who protested against the time travelling of the Slitheen, believing that it would damage humanity's development. Cecrops was partially humanoid, with a human-like upper body and a snake-like tail. Cecrops was estranged from his family, who thought he was too rebellious. He snuck onto one of the Slitheen's travel packages and went to Earth in 1500 BC. Though passionate about his cause, he had nothing to go on. He tried to befriend June to get her opinion as a native (not knowing she was also a time traveller). When she and the Tenth Doctor tried stop the Slitheen, Cecrops tried to help. When the situation was resolved and the other tourists returned to their own time, Cecrops decided to stay in the past so the Slitheen would be blamed for his "death" and be bankrupted. He stayed with the humans, helped build Athens and eventually was immortalised as the mythical King Cecrops. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)
