holy– whole

Slept the sleep of bronze

Wind fed spear

When I might try them

Full of daring

.

Who first, who last?

Bronze beat back bronze

Triple layered helmet with visor

.

Goats that bleed and tremble behind A lion

I’m a lion you’re a goat!

Blows that come from cowards and nobody’s don’t hurt ***

champion,, fighter

Godlike Odysseus

Proper funeral rights

Brave steadfast Odysseus

Clever ingenious Odysseus

Breath was fury

.

Risk reduction

Imagine children trying to hit you hard with sticks

Sate their appetite for flesh 


The agonizing work of war

The Earth that feeds us all **

Strength and skillfulness and war
