TRANSLATION HELP cretan daggers

Hello everyone,

I bought these daggers in crete and am curious to know what the mantinides are about, so it would be very kind if any of you can translate the greek

I bet they are something humourus, like mantinades often are

Sorry that I can't show the whole knife, image size gets too large. The last one is very difficult to see clearly because it has a very light engraving and the blade is very reflective so it is hard to get a good photo. I tried sharpening it a bit to make the engraving stand out more hence the noise in the photo

Thank you for your help,

Ayumi
