Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilleus
and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the Achaeans,
hurled in their multitudes to the house of Hades strong souls
of heroes, but gave their bodies to be the delicate feasting
of dogs, of all birds, and the will of Zeus was accomplished
since that time when first there stood in division of conflict
Agamemnon the lord of men and brilliant Achilleus. . . .
I have made this alt clan to bring some fun back into playing crpg. If you have read or are interested in any of the ancient Epics regarding the Trojan war or its outcome then pick a Hero and join the ladder. There are thousands of heroes in the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid of Virgil, Sophocles, Euripides, the Metamorphoses, or the Heroides to pick from. Honestly I dont really care who you pick but try not to double up. You could even pick a Greek or Roman god as your character name. If you want to be a generic meatshield/citizen-soldier, thats cool too, you can name yourself Lakedamian_Hoplite or something like that. The banner will constantly change to different aspis designs, because at the time of the Trojan War most warriors were aloud to choose their shield pattern themselves. I will jump around different time periods as well as city-states, and even some roman designs.
Also please try to use an epithet on your hero. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithet
This really makes your character seem more authentic
Its the homeric way!
