    Not very heroic, is it reader? And certainly something his enemies would have paid good money to know: but I’ve always been loyal. Not that I’m sure if that’s a virtue or a sign of inflexibility. Maybe that’s why the Gods sent me to Themistocles. After all, I’d seen Miltiades in a similar state more than once and been a comfort to him. I’ve been around enough powerful leaders to recognise the strain their ambition and the world place upon them.
