Megan Whalen Turner Quote
We would have died without the additional men, he admitted matter-of-factly. But we would have taken the entire Mede army with us. Poets would have written about us, and songs would have been sung about us-For all the good that would have done your dead bodies, Eugenides cynically interrupted.Well, I wasn't looking forward to it, said Sounis caustically. But over our dead bodies the Medes would never have been accepted by the people of Sounis. Much more likely that they would have allied with Attolia. He looked at Eugenides, who was still eyeing him in surprise. I didn't to die, he said. I knew you would send help.Why?It was Sounis's turn to be surprised.

To him it was obvious.Eugenides swallowed. I see.
