[Ajax] "I do not believe I had ever seen a man so
large as Lord Ajax. My brothers, whom I had always thought perfect in
form, stood not much above his shoulder. The veins of his arms webbed his
muscles like sinew, and his thighs were so thick he adjusted his gait to
accommodate their bulge. He held his head tilted to one side, emphasizing
a great proud jaw. A band of gold around his head kept his hair in place,
for there was much of it, brown, crimped and long. His beard was trimmed
to a point, and as my eyes moved upwards, I saw thick well formed lips, a
wedge of a nose and dark eyes that slid from mine on contact.'"
[Aphidnae] "The Fortress of Aphidnae was a forbidding bastion where King Aphidnus, a
gentle old man, was my unlikely jailer. The fortress was one with the desolate
mountains where my brothers could not fine me."
