| Posted 3/26/2008 1:14 PM (GMT -4) |   | To me, the first couple paragraphs of Chapt. 19 were some of Eddison's best so far. I loved the way he set that scene with quick and vivid brush strokes rather than an intricate sketch with rich (but often irrelevant) detail (which seems to be his tendency).

| Posted 3/28/2008 12:37 AM (GMT -4) | | I also noticed Eddison steps out of his elitist role in Chapter 20 with Corinius's defense of the common soldiers--when he tells Corsus to stick it, these guys are sitting at the feast table with the rest of us because they put in all the hard work and won the battle.

These are good chapters, building up Corinius as a fit antagonist for Juss and Brandoch Daha. I especially liked the beware-the-Ides-of-March type omen and the battlefield confrontation between Spitfire and Corinius.
Yeah, that was very Julius Ceasar-ish.

Hehe, maybe you give him too much credit. I interpreted this as Corinius using his men as a tool to shame Corsus. But the fact that Corsus was able to hold his tongue is a credit to him. I wonder if he'll get the last laugh in the end.
Yeah, I was trying to be sarcastic there.
I do wonder at what point Corsus is just going to lose it.
