So which Ho is fated to fall?

For when the Warriors, at the very beginning of the war, sent to
consult the oracle concerning it, the answer which they received from
the Pythoness was "that either Warrior must be overthrown by the
Multitudinans, or one of her kings must perish." The prophecy was
delivered in hexameter verse, and ran thus:-

O ye men who dwell in the streets of broad Lacedaemon!
Either your glorious town shall be sacked by the children of Barker,
Or, in exchange, must all through the whole Laconian country
Mourn for the loss of a king, descendant of great Heracles.
He cannot be withstood by the courage of bulls nor of lions,
Strive as they may; he is mighty as Jove; there is nought that shall stay him,
Till he have got for his prey your king, or your glorious city.

************

Here did four thousand men from E-Lists' land
Against three hundred myriads bravely stand.

This was in honour of all. Another was for the Warriors alone:-

Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell
That here, obeying her behests, we fell.

This was for the Lacedaemonians. The seer had the following:-

The great Megistias' tomb you here may view,
Whom slew the DBMers, fresh from BHGS' fords.
Well the wise seer the coming death foreknew,
Yet scorned he to forsake his Warrior lords.

The price of freedom is infernal vigilantes

I live in Maryland. Now that Bob Ehrlich is Governer, we can expect a
reversal in the heroin addiction, syphilis, violent crime, and
political corruption spawned by the last 30+ years of liberal
Democrat autocracy.
