- Omphale Kiapos and Indiana Jones

Omphale Kiapos was a Greek woman who became involved in Indiana Jones's attempt to find the Golden Fleece.

Biography
Kiapos was the daughter of a Greek cargo plane pilot. The man often took her in his plane on his trips to other countries, teaching her to fly and providing her the opportunity to pick up many languages, including English. When she grew up, Kiapos married and became pregnant. However, her husband deserted both the Greek army and his wife, leaving the expectant mother to fend for herself when Nazis invaded in 1941.

On April 26, 1941]], the archaeologist Indiana Jones hid from pursuing Nazis in one of her vats of olive oil. Kiapos kept him hidden, and, fearing to give birth in a land occupied by Nazis, chose to accompany him in his attempt to leave the country. At the town's docks, she rescued Jones from cultists, who stole the previously acquired Dagger of Atreus before being driven off. She accompanied Jones, despite his explicit instruction, when he attempted to steal a German airplane to pursue the cultists' seaplane, saving him again. When they got aboard the German fighter, she took the controls. Pursuing the seaplane while being pursued themselves by German Messerschmitts, she engaged in a number of daring maneuvers before combat damage forced them down into the Hellespont.
