>>5752757Just caught up. Here is a completely original and definitely self-composed homeric poem about our recent adventures:
In days of old, when heroes bold,
Stood 'neath Troy's towering wall,
There lived a man, Nikandros by name,
Renowned throughout for all.
With mighty heart and courage true,
He faced the foe in battle's might,
But now a different test he'd meet,
In the realm of strategy and sight.
Ajax the Greater, a hero famed,
In petteia's game held great acclaim,
With skillful moves and cunning mind,
He challenged Nikandros to the game.
Intricate boards of squares and stones,
They placed with care, their battle zone,
Nikandros, brave, with hopes held high,
But Ajax's prowess would soon be shown.
The stones were moved, the game was played,
Nikandros tried, but Ajax swayed,
His pieces fell, one by one,
In this contest, he was outplayed.
The crowd around, they watched in awe,
As Ajax proved without a flaw,
That even heroes of the field,
Could be bested in this ancient draw.
Though Nikandros lost with grace,
He'd live to fight another day,
For in the world of heroes' tales,
Victory and defeat both had their say.
So let us remember this day of old,
When Nikandros, brave and bold,
Faced Ajax in petteia's art,
A lesson learned, a noble heart.
