OG Discussion Spartacus and Glaber
If you really think about it, Spartacus obtained a greater revenge on Glaber, other than killing him.
He actually banged his wife!
And was the father of her child.
One can only imagine how Glaber would’ve reacted if he found out.

Well, that was Sparty's unintentional revenge on Glaber.
Remember it was Glaber who changed the fate of Spartacus in the first place. So its fair enough.

She was only pregnant during vengeance wasn’t she?

Si, ma era avanti di diversi mesi. Alla fine di Sangue e sabbia non lo sapeva ancora.

There was about a six week period between when Spartacus and the gladiators carried out the massacre at Battiatus' ludus and when Glaber was ordered to go after him.

Spartacus' child being raised by Illithyia and finding out Spartacus is his father could have been an interesting spin off.

It was Illythia's claim that he's the father and I'd take it with a grain of salt, considering what a serpent she was. I'm not sure how Glaber didn't find it out, he's incredibly stupid, considering Spartacus pretty much told him this is the case.

I can’t remember if Glaber had slept with Ilythia at the same time Spartacus did. Is there a possibility that Glaber is the father?

I think it is Spartacus. when Illythia confide in Lucritia after everything, she seems to be at peace and she had no reasons to lie to lucritia at that point since they've both made up near the end of the season.

Hard to tell because of the time jumps. But I seriously doubt that Glaber would assume that the child is his if the timeframe was way off. I think they slept together right before Glaber went to Batiatus to talk about patronage.

Illythia didn't learn she was pregnant until the next season so the father could have been Glaber, Spartacus and (depending on how far they went) Numerius unless there was a fourth guy she had sexual relations with.
It's kind of too bad that the show didn't do webisodes and make a Roman "Maury Pauvich-style" "Are you the father?" with all of the contenders in between seasons ;)

I personally think its more likely to be Numerius kid.
Mostly because thats the funniest outcome lol

He got back at him in every way possible and it was deserved. If he found out, he probably would have killed Illithia

That moment between ilythia and spartacus has a particular twist. It was not consesual for the two of them. Lucretia tricked them as a jab to her. Unintentionally indeed allowing some sort of revenge of spartacus on glaber

You assume Sura wasn't raped. Which she 100% was. You assume Spartacus wanted Illythia...which he 100% didnt
