Thanks, Ms. Mary. You humanized someone that other readers would see as just a "throwaway character," kind of like one of the bodies that the "hero" stacks by the truckload in an action movie. Simoeisios deserves to be remembered for his sacrifice as much as Aias Telemonionos does. If not more so. Considering Aias was an invader/raider. 🫡
My first thought was "What's going on at Mt. Ida, Arkansas?" (My wife wants to make a pilgrimage to the crystal mines there and come home with...well, most of the mountain, but she'll settle for whatever she can afford to stuff into the car.)

That's exactly what I'm aiming for!

Hahaha. Well, I had to look up whether there are mines in the Turkish Mount Ida, and it turns out there are. Not crystal, though. Gold.
