Heroes (formerly Talisman Of Troy) - Plot & Excerpts
He thought of the lofty mountains of ice which must have generated such an enormous current. Perhaps the Hyperborean Mountains or the Rhipaean Mountains he’d heard tale of as a boy. It was there, in a deep grotto sustained by a thousand columns of ice, that the cold wind of the north was born, to upset the waves of the sea and bring snow to the earth during the winter. He was thinking of what the king had seen in the swamp; something that had troubled his mind, moving him to rage against the swamp reeds and bushes. The same thing had happened to Ajax Telamon! He had slashed the throats of sheep and bulls, sure he was killing his enemies. But Myrsilus did not fear that the king had lost his mind. In his eyes he had seen suffering and terror, but not madness. Diomedes was still the strongest. But Lamus the Spartan, son of Onchestus, crept close to the king: ‘Was the chariot of the Sun really there, wanax?’ The king was not sleeping. He was leaning against his shield. ‘I don’t know,’ he said.
