Gorgo of Sparta, the queen that ruled in 5th century Greece; a time of great threat with the Greco-Persian wars at their peak.

In Civilization VI, Gorgo will rule Greece, with her combative abilities making her a formidable threat to anyone who goes up against her. Her leader ability, Thermopylae, grants her Culture when in states of conflict. A victory will give her 50% the value of her opponent's strength in Culture. When you reach a peace deal with Gorgo, no items will be given to the other side due to her leader agenda, called With Your Shield or On It.

As she is the leader of the great Greek cities, players will be given the Acropolis district when they use Gorgo, which sits on top of a hill and is highly defensible. They'll also get the Hoplite units, who use spears and shields to carefully and strategically take out their enemies.
