24 91 At this point Quintus, Telarion, Fabius, Lykourgos, and Tyrtaios rose to their feet, made their farewells, and left the tent.
Details
10
24 133 "Quintus, and Fabius," I said, "perhaps of Ar, or Venna, Telarion, possibly of Ar, Lykourgos and Tyrtaios, perhaps of the island ubarates".
Details
10
28 244 I thought of the fellows encountered in the tent of Lord Nishida, at Tarncamp, Quintus, Telarion, Fabius, Lykourgos, and Tyrtaios.
Details
10
28 466 Although I said nothing, it seemed to me that we had now limited the suspicions of Lord Nishida, expressed to me earlier in Tarncamp, in his tent after I had left the feast, if they were warranted, that they had now been narrowed to Fabius, Telarion, and Tyrtaios "But why, then," asked Lord Nishida,...

38 103 These were Telarion, Fabius, and Tyrtaios, whom I had met in the tent of Lord Nishida at Tarncamp, the night of the feast.

15 193 "Tyrtaios, will you not help me? Have we not plans? Are we not equals? Are we not to share in all things? Are we not friends, allies?" Tyrtaios continued on his way.
Details
10
21 414 When Tyrtaios glanced at him, for Tyrtaios often apprised himself of his surroundings, Seremides looked away, as though concerned to watch the small boats, now about the galley, approach the shore.
Details
10
27 17 Turgus and Tyrtaios both now joined me on the parapet, Turgus, liaison to Lord Nishida, Tyrtaios to Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
30 137 If a snake could take human form, and the form of a warrior, I thought, would it not be much like the form of Tyrtaios? I suspected that the machinations of Tyrtaios lay behind the abortive desertion.
Details
10
36 88 His betrayal of Tyrtaios may have been his vengeance for being discounted, and neglected, by Tyrtaios, and perhaps others, as well".
Details
10
7 1 We Man the Pumps; There is Unease Amongst the Men; We are Spoken to by Tyrtaios My ankles were in freezing water.
Details
10
7 173 One fellow, Tyrtaios, lean and hard, a snake I thought in a warrior's body, left his pump and waded to where I worked.
Details
10
7 176 I had observed this fellow Tyrtaios in the hold, under the single swinging lamp, on its chains, which supplied the feeble light within which we worked, which cast wild shadows about, which seemed like the flutterings of frightened jards.
Details
10
7 177 Tyrtaios had worked at the other two pumps, as well.
Details
10
7 178 Several days ago, an altercation had taken place between this Tyrtaios and a man named Decius, with respect to a bench-place in the mess.
Details
10
7 181 Durbar, not speaking, took the place at the second pump, that place vacated by Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 182 For several Ehn we continued to man the pump, in silence, and then Tyrtaios spoke to us, the other three at the pump.
Details
10
7 187 "No longer, for days, even before the storm," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 189 "We are not on course," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 200 "I do not understand," said Thoas, across from Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 202 "He has gone too far north," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 206 "Ice has been seen in the water," said Tyrtaios, "ice the size of galleys".
Details
10
7 209 "Tersites," said Tyrtaios, "is mad.
Details
10
7 213 "We must turn back," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 215 "There may be little time," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 217 "And before the next watch," whispered Tyrtaios, "we may fall from the world, to fall forever".
Details
10
7 218 I did not think Tyrtaios believed what he said, but many amongst the crew might.
Details
10
7 229 "But Thassa must have an edge," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 233 "Lower your voices," whispered Tyrtaios, looking about.
Details
10
7 235 "We must be the first," said Tyrtaios to us, in a whisper.
Details
10
7 237 "We must urge Tersites to turn back," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 240 "We must force him to turn back," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 243 "They must join us," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 245 "We outnumber them," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 247 "Then," said Tyrtaios, "it may be necessary to seize the ship".
Details
10
7 249 "Not to go to our deaths," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 251 "Many are of my mind," whispered Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 253 "What if I told you, if we return to the continent," whispered Tyrtaios, "that riches would await us all?" "We have nothing but our fee," said Thoas.
Details
10
7 254 "Of what do you speak?" "I speak no further," smiled Tyrtaios.
Details
10
7 259 "Surely," said Tyrtaios, "the rational man weighs risk against gain, and recognizes that even considerable risk is more than outweighed by the prospect of prodigious gain".
Details
10
7 273 Did they not understand their station? Had they so little dignity? How could they expect to keep the respect of their men, if they so lowered themselves, if they so demeaned themselves, if they so compromised their position? But, too, I thought, would men not die for such officers? I saw Tyrtaios wa...
Details
10
7 275 At the next level, when we reached it, Tyrtaios, then waiting, spoke to me.
Details
10
8 14 I had heard no more of sedition from Tyrtaios, who was of the retinue of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
8 22 I had wondered, from time to time, of the hints of Tyrtaios, those of untold wealth for all.
Details
10
8 23 Surely that lacked all foundation in fact, and who, save the simplest and most gullible, might be deceived by so obvious and meretricious an enticement, so transparent a fabrication? And yet, I wondered, why would one of the seeming astuteness of Tyrtaios put himself so at risk, as he would be when ...
Details
10
8 49 Tyrtaios, in his vicinity, had been unable to save him.
Details
10
8 107 And if such were the case, then, even as before, it would have been understandable that Tyrtaios, despite his best efforts, might have been unable to save him.
Details
10
9 140 I wondered if Tyrtaios or Seremides was involved.
Details
10
9 320 Beside Seremides, near the ramp, was Tyrtaios, who was of the retinue of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 95 Some of those closest to him, and, I feared, in desperate league with him, such as Tyrtaios, in the service of Lord Nishida, might know him only as a master swordsman, Rutilius of Ar.
Details
10
12 97 I would later learn of five originally suspect men, not of the Pani, armsmen, originally with Lord Nishida, of which number Tyrtaios was but one, the others being Quintus, Telarion, Fabius, and Lykourgos.
Details
10
12 102 I felt I knew much of Tyrtaios.
Details
10
12 386 I saw Tyrtaios pounding on the alarm bar.
Details
10
12 390 Neither he nor Tyrtaios were armed with a crossbow.
Details
10
12 392 It was then I understood that Seremides and Tyrtaios were the deck watch.
Details
10
12 398 Tyrtaios, below, charged that I had gratuitously killed my relief, but he was cautioned to silence by Seremides, who perhaps feared an inquiry.
Details
10
12 411 "Tyrtaios," I said.
Details
10
12 432 "Tyrtaios is interested in taking the ship," I said.
Details
10
12 434 "Tyrtaios is dangerous," I said.
Details
10
12 440 At this point, Seremides approached, Tyrtaios at his back.
Details
10
12 452 He, with Tyrtaios, withdrew.
Details
10
15 8 Tyrtaios, who was of the retinue of Lord Nishida, had a somewhat similar role, but, if he were latently more dangerous than Seremides, he did not have the temper, and the character of Seremides, which had much to do with intimidation, humiliation, and the drawing of blood.
Details
10
15 9 If Seremides disliked you, or was thinking of killing you, it was reasonably clear; indeed, it pleased him that you might suspect such things; but with Tyrtaios, one could not be sure.
Details
10
15 11 In its way, this rendered Tyrtaios more frightening.
Details
10
15 16 Tyrtaios, who had been of the retinue of Lord Nishida, had now been requisitioned by Lord Okimoto to fulfill the role which had been that of Seremides.
Details
10
15 17 Accordingly, Tyrtaios was now of the retinue of Lord Okimoto, and no longer of that of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
15 19 Tyrtaios' place with Lord Nishida had been taken by Turgus, an officer in the tarn cavalry, who had been given the command of one of the four remaining nested galleys.
Details
10
15 190 "Tyrtaios," he said, suddenly, looking beyond me.
Details
10
15 192 "Tyrtaios," said Seremides, plaintively, and put his hand out to him.
Details
10
15 195 As Tyrtaios made his way forward, he passed a slave girl, making her way aft, a small sa-tarna pannier on her back.
Details
10
15 200 When the girl had passed Tyrtaios she had averted her eyes and lowered her head, deferently, as befitted her status, slave.
Details
10
16 34 "That will not be necessary," said Lord Okimoto, who was nearby, Tyrtaios at his side.
Details
10
16 36 "Speak to the commander," said Lord Okimoto to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 37 "I am informed, commander, by Lord Okimoto," said Tyrtaios, "that the ship, as seems obvious, is a warning ship, and that it is perhaps one of several.
Details
10
16 46 "You may speak to Tyrtaios," said Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
16 47 "I would consult with Lord Nishida," said Cabot to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 48 Tyrtaios looked to Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
16 50 He then turned about, and left, and, in a moment, was followed by Tyrtaios, who, I suspected, did not care to follow any man.
Details
10
16 124 "No!" called Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 134 In any event, hardly had Tyrtaios conveyed the order of Lord Okimoto, than we heard the high watch, from the platform and ring, high above, cry out, "Beware! There are a hundred ships! We are surrounded!" I had no doubt the ship we had encountered was a warning ship, and an ambush ship, but, too, it...
Details
10
16 154 "We have little room for prisoners, lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 156 "Excellent," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 169 He then turned to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 173 "Yes, lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 210 Lord Okimoto issued orders to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 211 Tyrtaios called out, to the lines of men about him, "Boarding nets!" he cried.
Details
10
16 214 "Prepare to board!" called Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 215 I doubted that Tyrtaios, under the circumstances, thought it well advised, given fire and our own troubles, to board the warning ship, but he failed to demur.
Details
10
16 252 Tyrtaios, alerted by the sounds, turned and blocked a blow that would have cleft the head of Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
16 254 This had all happened very quickly, and I think that Tyrtaios was as startled as I.
Details
10
16 305 Lord Okimoto turned to Tyrtaios, regretfully.
Details
10
18 138 "It is my speculation that Tyrtaios knows," I said, "and perhaps certain others of their circle".
Details
10
21 10 "Please, noble lord," said Tyrtaios to Lord Nishida, nearby, "anchor, put forth the galleys.
Details
10
21 20 Tyrtaios was a clever man.
Details
10
21 22 "Please ponder their worth, noble lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 26 "It is well," said Tyrtaios, "that weapons were taken in.
Details
10
21 30 "What shall we do?" inquired Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 32 "May I implore Lord Okimoto," inquired Tyrtaios, "that he, as senior, may rule otherwise?" "Certainly," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
21 33 Whereas Tyrtaios, as of the dismissal of Seremides, was no longer of the retinue of Lord Nishida, but of that of Lord Okimoto, at the latter's request, and was well aware that Lord Okimoto was of subtly higher station than Lord Nishida, he was also well aware, as were most of us, that Lord Okimoto, ...
Details
10
21 34 Tyrtaios then excused himself, and withdrew.
Details
10
21 113 Tyrtaios had returned with Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
21 114 The warrior, Turgus, was nearby, who, as it may be recalled, had replaced Tyrtaios in the retinue of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
21 115 Each lord seemed more comfortable, on the whole, dealing with the armsmen and mariners by means of an intermediary, Tyrtaios for Lord Okimoto, Turgus for Lord Nishida, though there was nothing rigid in this matter.
Details
10
21 193 Tyrtaios continued to urge a landing.
Details
10
21 196 "Of course," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 235 "What is the meaning of that?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 241 "Safety," said Lord Okimoto to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 243 "Let us put forth the galleys, the small boats," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 271 "I do not think they can be held longer," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 276 "Certainly," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 281 "We will not be able to restrain the men," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 285 As Tyrtaios had feared, war would betide the great ship.
Details
10
21 357 "Please, Masters!" "You have been long at sea, beauties," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 372 "Perhaps you can beg prettily," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 374 "Interest us," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 382 "Move," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 393 "Now coffle us," said one of the slaves, "by metal, by wrist, neck, or ankle! Take us ashore, chained! We will not escape! We cannot escape! We are ready! You have made us so! We beg only haste! You need not take us to the grass, or the high, dry beach! Cast us to the wet, drenched sand, use us, if ...
Details
10
21 397 I wondered if Tyrtaios cared for women.
Details
10
21 402 And, I thought, Tyrtaios did little without purpose.
Details
10
21 403 What in one man might seem pointless or gratuitous, in another, such as Tyrtaios, might be the result of sober calculation, a move on the kaissa board of advantage.
Details
10
21 405 And do they not make lovely pieces? "Must whips be brought?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 407 "Attend them," said Tyrtaios to me, and some of the others, who stood about.
Details
10
21 411 Why, I asked myself, would Tyrtaios have us, several of us, attend the return of the slaves to the Venna and Kasra keeping areas? It was only later that I understood, or thought I might understand.
Details
10
21 412 Tyrtaios, I suspect, wished to appear to the men as one who might have much to give, to be perceived as a likely bestower of privilege, and power.
Details
10
21 457 Actually, it seemed very likely to me that, now that our voyage was much at its end, Tyrtaios, and doubtless others, would be anxious to enlist associates, for some end or other, to which end the prospect of a distribution of slaves might prove conducive.
Details
10
21 492 Men, it seemed, on the word of Tyrtaios, had invaded this normally sequestered precinct.
Details
10
22 19 I saw Tyrtaios, with others, on the ratlines, peering toward the shore.
Details
10
24 39 I saw Tyrtaios stride by.
Details
10
24 42 "Tal, noble Tyrtaios," I said.
Details
10
24 47 Tyrtaios, I suspected, was of the Assassins.
Details
10
27 19 Tyrtaios spoke neither to me nor to the Pani, but scanned the trail, the road, the village, the horizon, quickly, expertly.
Details
10
27 171 I had not seen Tyrtaios, after he had left the parapet.
Details
10
29 14 I had thought the instigator of this action would have been Tyrtaios, but I did not see him.
Details
10
30 5 "Lord Okimoto is generous," said Tyrtaios to the superior with whom he was liaison, Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
30 15 "Lord Nishida recommends clemency," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 17 "It is perhaps wise," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 19 "Surely they may prove useful," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 21 "What is the view of Lord Temmu?" inquired Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 25 "I see," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 27 "Surely Tereus, the oarsman," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 29 "Oh?" said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 55 Seremides, prior to his crippling in the Vine Sea, had been liaison to Lord Okimoto, a post now held by Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 59 "If that is so," said Tyrtaios, "the true leader would not have been Tereus".
Details
10
30 61 "Perhaps another," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 63 "Perhaps you," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 65 "Did you not inform Lord Nishida of the conspiracy?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 67 "Ah," said Tyrtaios, thoughtfully.
Details
10
30 71 "If the matter carried," said Tyrtaios, "I expect you would have profited from it".
Details
10
30 73 "How could I, no more than a worthless cripple, ridiculed and scorned, manage so great an affair?" "Your wit is not crippled," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 75 "Perhaps," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 77 "One does not know," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 80 "Somewhere it must have begun," said Tyrtaios, "and from somewhere been monitored and directed".
Details
10
30 83 "Do you think, upon reflection, good Tyrtaios," asked Lord Okimoto, "that our friend, Tereus, a simple oarsman, could have managed so much, so well?" "He spoke for the desertion, he led the flight, he was first through the gate," said Seremides.
Details
10
30 85 "I do not think so, Lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 87 "Then Rutilius," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 90 "Then, who?" said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 112 "Callias," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
30 113 "Noble Tyrtaios," I said.
Details
10
30 121 "In any event," said Tyrtaios, "it is clear you were not with the desertion".
Details
10
30 135 I recalled seeing Tyrtaios in company with several fellows, the past few days, fellows from various decks.
Details
10
30 146 I wondered, of course, if Lord Okimoto suspected Tyrtaios, as well.
Details
10
33 194 "Or, perhaps," I said, "Tyrtaios, who wished to reward you for your opposition to the desertion, had a colleague, or agent, aboard the great ship".
Details
10
33 206 "The arm of Tyrtaios was long," he said.

36 1 The Warehouse; The Encounter with Cineas, the Agent of Tyrtaios; The Gift of Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, Tarnsman It was now four days following the docking of the Pani ship, the River Dragon, and the stranger and I, invited by Captain Nakamura and the harbor master, Demetrion, who now seemed on s...
Details
10
36 77 Shortly, within two or three days, suspicion began to fall on a particular armsman, one named Tyrtaios, who was the liaison officer of Lord Okimoto".
Details
10
36 79 "Indeed, he was later denounced explicitly by the cripple, Rutilius of Ar, who had been succeeded in his post as liaison for Lord Okimoto by the same fellow, Tyrtaios.
Details
10
36 82 "At one time I saw them as allies, Tyrtaios and Rutilius.
Details
10
36 83 But Rutilius was repudiated, cast aside by Tyrtaios, after his crippling, as he was, as well, by Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
36 89 "Although the progress of the investigation was putatively confidential," said the captain, and largely confined to the various prison barracks, where the would-be deserters were held, this Tyrtaios seemed, somehow, to have been well apprised of how matters were proceeding.
Details
10
36 93 "His loss could be grievous," said the stranger, "as Tyrtaios was a high officer in the resistance, knows much of its organization, and is familiar with the defenses of the castle of Lord Temmu.
Details
10
36 100 "In one matter, a subtle one," said the captain, "Tyrtaios may have erred.
Details
10
36 109 "Your enemy," said the captain, "the minion of Tyrtaios, was frequently at your side".
Details
10
36 137 "Why would Tyrtaios leave such a message in his quarters, pertaining to these things?" I asked.
Details
10
36 334 This head, rather, is for Tyrtaios.
Details
10
36 335 It will be mounted on the wall of the castle of Lord Temmu, for ten days, and it will then be cast amongst the soldiers below, of the forces of Lord Yamada, with instructions that it be delivered to their man, Tyrtaios.
Details
10
36 360 I recalled, from the tale of the stranger, that some evidence had suggested that Tyrtaios, who may have had much to do with the attempted desertion, and who had disappeared from the castle of Lord Temmu, might be of the Assassins.
Details
10
36 375 The head which had been removed from the body, with the apparent intention of bringing it eventually to the attention of Tyrtaios, was given into the keeping of the Pani, Tatsu, who accepted it, and, holding it by the hair, bowed, and then withdrew, with his three fellows, presumably to the ship.
Details
10
36 393 "We have journeyed to the World's End, Brundisium, we have founded a trade route, we are in the process of obtaining much needed goods for our shogun, Lord Temmu, we have foiled, or meddled in, the plot of the traitor, Tyrtaios, have perhaps saved your life, and, in any event have deprived him of hi...

6 300 "Tyrtaios," he said.
Details
10
6 302 "Let it be known that you have refused Tyrtaios," he said.
Details
10
6 346 "Who is Tyrtaios?" I asked.
Details
10
8 553 It was he, Tyrtaios, who had proffered the golden stater.
Details
10
8 566 Tyrtaios regarded her.
Details
10
10 5 In this decision Tyrtaios, whom I took to be first amongst the armsmen, though not amongst the mariners, concurred.
Details
10
10 8 In Tyrtaios I sensed intelligence and power, and a prudential sense of instrumentality, unqualified by extraneous considerations.
Details
10
10 11 But Tyrtaios was neither an idealist nor fanatic; he was well aware of the balance between means and ends, between resources and their limitations.
Details
10
10 13 Tyrtaios would be a practical commander, whose expenditure of men and supplies would be rational, and judicious, and cold.
Details
10
10 14 I wondered if Tyrtaios was an Assassin.
Details
10
10 22 Ah, yes, two golden staters! I wondered how Tyrtaios saw me.
Details
10
10 27 "There," said Tyrtaios, pointing.
Details
10
10 29 "I have it so from the captain," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
10 31 "We will disembark," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
10 42 "Prepare to disembark," called Tyrtaios to the more than a hundred men on the vessel.
Details
10
10 86 "Steady," warned Tyrtaios.
Details
10
10 93 "Ho!" called Tyrtaios.
Details
10
10 95 "Who is the first to disobey?" inquired Tyrtaios.
Details
10
10 102 "I give you permission to kill him," said Tyrtaios to me.
Details
10
10 106 "Why did you not kill him?" asked Tyrtaios, interested.
Details
10
10 108 Tyrtaios turned to the men.
Details
10
10 111 "Over the side," said Tyrtaios, and, one by one, they went to the rail, and leapt into the water.
Details
10
10 112 When the fellow who had attacked me went to the rail, grasping his bleeding arm, Tyrtaios, with a brief stroke of his blade, cut the spinal column at the back of his neck.

10 125 Tyrtaios then sprang over the rail, plunging into the restless, waist-high water.
Details
10
14 2 "Good stroke," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 5 "Sawyers are elsewhere," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 11 "Perhaps," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 45 Then I said to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 63 Tyrtaios, at least, it seemed, had been as far as Shipcamp.
Details
10
14 67 "It would seem so," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 69 "Perhaps," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 103 "You recruited me," I said to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 251 "To be sure," said Tyrtaios, "such a one might manage to pass the wands".
Details
10
14 353 None were now about, save myself and Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 359 "Put aside the ax," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 500 "It is his ship," said Tyrtaios, "and it is being built for, and outfitted for, a voyage to the World's End".
Details
10
14 510 "That, too, I think," said Tyrtaios, "is part of the game".
Details
10
14 512 "I think," said Tyrtaios, "that one player, and perhaps neither, is content to resign himself in these matters to the role of a passive, uninvolved spectator".
Details
10
14 514 "I think too much is involved," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 516 "I think so," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
14 524 "I think he suspects more," said Tyrtaios, "and intends to intertwine his own ambitions and prospects with these larger matters.
Details
10
16 151 I supposed this had to do with the intervention of Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 153 I was confident it would not be shared with Tyrtaios, as he apparently stood high with the Pani.
Details
10
16 155 In this Tyrtaios, too, might have been involved.
Details
10
19 1 "I have not seen you so," I said to Tyrtaios.
Details
10
19 2 "I have been contacted," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
19 40 I wondered how it was that Tyrtaios would have had the authority to make such selections.
Details
10
19 76 "I do not think so," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
19 78 But Tyrtaios did not respond.
Details
10
21 5 "No!" said Tyrtaios to me.
Details
10
21 8 "No," said Tyrtaios, again.
Details
10
21 25 Tyrtaios removed his hand from mine.
Details
10
21 26 "Had you drawn," said Tyrtaios, "you would now be dead, and perhaps myself as well".
Details
10
21 28 "I first saw such things only days ago," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 30 "Sometimes they are the last things one sees," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 33 "These," said Tyrtaios, "are the friends".
Details
10
21 35 "Look more closely," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 38 "They are not bound," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 42 "ft has a lord," said Tyrtaios, "somewhere, probably not here, but no master".
Details
10
21 44 "No," said Tyrtaios, "they were well aware of our presence.
Details
10
21 59 I wondered if Tyrtaios had really noticed that, about the ears, or had just realized, afterwards, that it had taken place.
Details
10
21 61 "We did not come on them unawares," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 73 "The one behind you is," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 84 I suspect Tyrtaios had been aware of this, and had found it acceptable.
Details
10
21 102 "Make no sudden moves," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 104 Tyrtaios lifted his hand to the two beasts by the fire, palm inward.
Details
10
21 122 The beast with the box regarded Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 128 "Yes," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 130 "It seemed wise to leave in darkness," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 133 "The two objects, two great boxes," said Tyrtaios, "as instructed, have been placed on the ship, and stored as instructed, inconspicuously, amongst other cargo".
Details
10
21 137 "Yes," said Tyrtaios, "innocently, as tools for metalwork".
Details
10
21 139 "I am supposing you know the nature of this secret cargo," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 141 "I am not so privileged?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 143 "I see," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 145 "It is to be employed at the World's End?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 147 "Assuming the voyage is successful, and one reaches the World's End," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 153 "It is so valuable?" said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 155 "Then it is gold, or silver, a great quantity, really," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 158 "I see," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 163 "I would be curious to see what is so worthless, and so valuable," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 166 "You have heard of the Flame Death of the Priest-Kings?" asked the first beast of Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 167 "I have heard of it," said Tyrtaios, "but I have not seen it".
Details
10
21 173 "I do not understand," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 181 "You have seen that?" I said to Tyrtaios, indicating the small animal on the spit.
Details
10
21 184 "Obviously," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 186 "Not at all," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 188 "I have been here before," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 193 "I do not think so," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 200 "I do not know," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 204 "We are guests here," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 213 "The food," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 217 "I think," said Tyrtaios, "he would prefer that it be killed".
Details
10
21 221 "It may not be their way," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 223 "No need," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 231 "You are thoughtful," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 233 "We are grateful," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 243 "For a little time," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 250 "Do not fear," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 259 "That is understood," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 261 Tyrtaios reached within his tunic, and handed a folded paper to the beast with the device, who put the device to one side, near the fire, and perused the paper.
Details
10
21 280 "You will require humans to guard the cargo, and deliver it to the appropriate parties," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 282 "The noble lords cannot well share the journey of the great ship," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 284 "You fear the voyage will be unsuccessful," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 296 "The cargo has been loaded," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 299 "Others know of the cargo," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 302 "Of course," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 303 "And you have men personally loyal to you, who will see to this?" "Yes," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 305 "You cannot risk that it is not," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 308 Tyrtaios inclined his head, slightly.
Details
10
21 310 He cast it to the feet of Tyrtaios, who did not move.
Details
10
21 312 "We must return to Shipcamp, before we are missed," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 316 Tyrtaios turned about.
Details
10
21 318 The second beast then, though I think the gesture pleased him not, bent down, and, not taking his eyes from Tyrtaios, picked up the small sack.
Details
10
21 320 It was then handed to Tyrtaios, with an understated politeness that I found disconcerting.
Details
10
21 323 "I wish you well," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 328 Tyrtaios turned back.
Details
10
21 330 "Lord?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 332 "What?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 333 "Were you not entrusted with a vessel, a small vessel, constituting a celebratory draft, a gift, a reward and pledge, placing a seal on our business?" "Ah!" said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 335 "Yes," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 337 "Forgive me," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 341 "There is very little in the vessel," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 342 "Did you sample it?" "No," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 344 "The seal is unbroken," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 347 "My superior entrusted it to me, and, I gather, his superior to him," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 349 "For the three of you, surely," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 355 Tyrtaios reached into his wallet, and drew forth a small bottle.
Details
10
21 356 I feared the two beasts were to pounce upon him, given the regard in which they seemed to hold the small vessel, but they stopped suddenly, angrily, apprehensively, for, having broken the seal and removed the bottle's stopper, Tyrtaios held it, as though to spill its contents on the ground.
Details
10
21 358 Tyrtaios pointed to the first beast, that which had managed the communication device, and held the bottle toward it.
Details
10
21 361 Tyrtaios did not relinquish his grip on the bottle, even when the first beast seized his hand in its paws and forced the bottle to his own lips.
Details
10
21 363 Tyrtaios yanked back the bottle, and a bit of the beverage splashed free.
Details
10
21 364 A howl of rage came from the second beast, but the first regarded Tyrtaios with fury.
Details
10
21 365 Tyrtaios then handed the bottle to the second beast, who with one motion threw the contents down that open, dark, fanged, spread maw.
Details
10
21 369 "They left none for their fellow," observed Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 371 "Where is the third?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 373 "No matter," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 382 "Certainly not," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 385 "We permitted it to save face," said Tyrtaios, "pretending to accept the matter on the leader's vaunted terms, as a test of our pride, and probity".
Details
10
21 387 "Of course not," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 389 "They are all dangerous," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 392 "That much I gathered," I said, "but what is involved here, what is the cargo, what is afoot?" "I know very little about it," said Tyrtaios, "and I gather that that is for the best".
Details
10
21 394 "I think not," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 399 "A useful procedure for ensuring security," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 401 "I am needed for the success of their venture, whatever may be its nature," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 410 "There is no point in going further, not now," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 413 "The fire at the campsite is out," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 419 "Unfortunately I must do so," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 424 "You do recall," said Tyrtaios, "that the beast with the speaking machine claimed to know the contents of the cargo".
Details
10
21 426 "The other two, as well, would be likely to know," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 428 "Our friend is approaching," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 438 "Tal," said Tyrtaios, pleasantly, and plunged his dagger into the beast's chest.
Details
10
21 442 Tyrtaios wiped his blade clean on the beast's fur.
Details
10
21 444 "Why?" "ft was necessary," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 446 "They are dead," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 448 "Precisely," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 450 "Precisely," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 453 "No," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 458 I accompanied Tyrtaios back to the clearing.
Details
10
21 469 Tyrtaios, who was not a timid man, had been unwilling to keep even the wallet in which the vessel, closed as it was, had been carried.
Details
10
21 470 Tyrtaios cut the golden rings from the ears of the first beast.
Details
10
21 473 Tyrtaios then stood up, shouldering a large leather sack, in which he had placed a number of articles, coins, belts, buckles, accouterments, and such.
Details
10
21 475 "No," said Tyrtaios, "and I would not touch them did I find them".
Details
10
21 480 "Should the cargo reach the World's End," I said, "who will know to whom it is to be delivered?" "My superior," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
21 482 "For a time," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
24 1 "Hold!" cried Tyrtaios.
Details
10
24 30 If the ost could choose a human form I thought it might choose one much like that of Tyrtaios.
Details
10
24 52 "Perhaps," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
24 62 "Let him go," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
24 65 "Ah," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
24 114 "Then have her, and beat her, and tire of her, and sell her," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
26 46 "Do you know an officer, Tyrtaios?" he asked.
Details
10
26 54 "Perhaps," said he, "because of Lord Okimoto, and Tyrtaios".
Details
10
26 79 "The quarry I have in mind," he said, "is one of interest to both Lord Okimoto and Tyrtaios".
Details
10
26 118 Earlier I did not know if that was because of the fled slave or was no more than a matter of coincidence, but now, it seemed, another reason might be involved, one which might be of interest to Lord Okimoto and Tyrtaios.
Details
10
26 119 Axel, I recalled, had mentioned another quarry, and, I had gathered, the laris withdrawn, this enabling the hunt of Axel, such a quarry, one apparently of interest to Lord Okimoto and Tyrtaios, might prove, eventually, to have some relationship to the fled slave.
Details
10
34 39 The word of Tyrtaios may be accepted on this".
Details
10
38 12 He, with Homines, would retain contact with the quarry It had apparently been the speculation of Axel, or, more likely, that of Tyrtaios, that Panther Girls, if they were in the vicinity, might note the fled slave, and, naturally, would not be averse to acquiring her.
Details
10
43 52 I was puzzled by these things, though I had gathered, long ago, from Tyrtaios, that titanic forces might be involved in these matters, and that one, or more, worlds, in their way, might hang in some delicate balance.
Details
10
43 497 That should be enough for Tyrtaios, and Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
43 507 But might not pride be involved? Would Tyrtaios, or Lord Okimoto, or others, believe I had truly captured the quarry? Why should they believe me? Would they believe me? There was a simple way, of course, to convince them of my veracity.
Details
10
43 994 It may be recalled that this arrangement had been put in place by either Tyrtaios, or Lord Okimoto, to support Axel, and take action, if he were fortunate enough to make contact with the Panther Women.
Details
10
43 997 "That was what Tyrtaios anticipated," said Axel.
Details
10
45 44 "Tyrtaios would not be pleased," he said.
Details
10
45 59 "Do you think Tyrtaios will believe that?" I asked.
Details
10
51 1 "We leave in the early morning," said Tyrtaios, angrily.
Details
10
51 7 What is such a ship, even so stout and strong, in the merciless grip of Thassa?" "Doubtless it will be grievously tested," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 9 "Do you fear to sail with her?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 11 "You know the risks," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 13 "And there are more," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 15 "Much may be risked where much is to be gained," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 27 "Seek your diversions less distant," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 35 "Do not be stupid," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 43 "She must be very beautiful," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 50 "Why did you take her there?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 58 "You pursued her in the forest," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 61 "Which occurred," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 68 "She is not yours," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 88 "A slave is nothing," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 90 "There is nothing to choose from amongst them," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 100 "We fear," said Tyrtaios, "that this slave is of some interest to you".
Details
10
51 104 "The cause is all-important," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 110 "It is rather like carrying a live ost in your hand," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 112 "As you are honorable?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 115 "I think you may easily dispel our uneasiness, and reassure us of your good will, reliability, and fidelity," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 120 "Is your dagger sharp?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
51 125 "Good," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
52 287 "Tyrtaios feared this".
Details
10
52 288 "Tyrtaios," said my captor, "is very clever".
Details
10
52 323 "It is strange to me," said my captor, "that Tyrtaios would trust this business to one man".
Details
10
52 334 "But noble Tyrtaios wishes an additional assurance," said my captor.
Details
10
52 402 "I have learned," said Axel, "what I came to learn, that you are not the creature of Tyrtaios".
Details
10
52 411 "I have heard hints of such from our friend, Tyrtaios," said my captor.
Details
10
52 426 "Tyrtaios?" said Axel.
Details
10
52 427 "Yes," said my captor, "our friend, Tyrtaios".
Details
10
52 540 "Neither did Tyrtaios," said Axel.
Details
10
52 548 "How did you know I would not do the bidding of Tyrtaios and join the ship?" "I did not know," said Axel.
Details
10
52 571 "That Tyrtaios have one less minion at his disposal," said Axel.
Details
10
52 621 "Tyrtaios would have paid well," said Axel.
Details
10
52 630 "Do you trust Tyrtaios?" asked my master.
Details
10
52 670 "To inquire into the doings of Tyrtaios, and others," he said, "to see if deceit is practiced, to see if there is treachery amongst the Pani, to see if the cards are marked, the dice weighted".
Details
10
52 959 "No," said my master, "but I fear it is a man of Tyrtaios".
Details
10
53 30 It was given to me by Tyrtaios to hint at the riches which might accrue to one enleagued with him".

Book 33. (97 results) Rebels of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
30 117 I assumed this must have been either Tyrtaios or his colleague, probably the colleague, as Tyrtaios would more likely be in closer contact with Lord Yamada.
Details
10
1 105 Perhaps Tyrtaios, I thought, the deserter.
Details
10
1 273 "The splendid officer, fearful Tyrtaios, so wise in council, so adept with the sword," said Lord Nishida, "has departed the holding, and placed his cunning and skills at the service of great Yamada".
Details
10
6 1 The Dais "I bring you words of conciliation, of forgiveness, and joy from your lord, Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 3 "Put aside your doomed rebellion, and attend to the words of your lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 5 Tyrtaios stood on the dais, rather before us, as he addressed us.
Details
10
6 41 "I bear, on behalf of my lord, and yours, Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands," said Tyrtaios, "welcome, merciful words, words of exoneration, and clemency".
Details
10
6 43 "We have spared the holding of Temmu," said Tyrtaios, "from the rain of burning arrows, because of our love for our wayward, misguided servitor, the glorious, honorable Temmu".
Details
10
6 46 "It is the word of my lord, and yours, Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands," said Tyrtaios, "that peace, amity, harmony, and love, be between us, fully and forever".
Details
10
6 62 "We have been below your walls and before your gates, at the foot of your trails, for months," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 66 Tyrtaios himself, as I, apparently expected a greater reaction to his words.
Details
10
6 70 He generally did not wish to speak publicly, and perhaps particularly not now, as several men of Yamada had accompanied Tyrtaios to the holding.
Details
10
6 77 Tyrtaios, who had served as mercenary liaison to Lord Okimoto, and a guard, on the ship and in the holding, prior to his desertion, similarly, understood him without difficulty.
Details
10
6 92 "We attend the words of noble Tyrtaios," said Lord Nishida, "words spoken on behalf of his lord, noble Yamada, claimant to the islands".
Details
10
6 93 Tyrtaios bowed, slightly, warily.
Details
10
6 94 "It is interesting," said Lord Nishida, "that the great lord would send noble Tyrtaios, who served us well in Brundisium, and in the forests, and who accompanied us on the great ship, and who stood at our side in the holding, as an emissary to our court".
Details
10
6 95 "It is not without thought, Lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 101 "The moral integrity and courage of the noble Tyrtaios cannot be but commended," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
6 103 "But it is our humble suspicion," said Lord Nishida, "that the noble Tyrtaios may labor unwittingly, certainly through no fault of his own, under certain misapprehensions.
Details
10
6 108 "You are rebels," said Tyrtaios, "for you have arrayed yourselves against Lord Yamada.
Details
10
6 121 "Now!" said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 126 "The straits in which you find yourselves," said Tyrtaios, "are dire.
Details
10
6 137 What Pani, at least of noble birth and refinement, would burn a well-wrought fan, a samisen, a lovely painted screen, or a poem? "Is it true," asked Lord Nishida, "that you ask Pani warriors, many of whom are men of two swords, to surrender?" "Surely not, Lord," said Tyrtaios, hastily.
Details
10
6 139 "If our resistance is honorable," said Lord Nishida, "why should we desist?" "It is misguided," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 143 "Why should he leave his own lands?" asked Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 147 "Welcome your rightful lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 150 "Those of bandits and recreants," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 152 "The conditions are simple," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 157 "You would have us descend from the fortress, defenseless, unarmed, amongst hostile forces, as alleged rebels and traitors, humbly bringing supplicatory gifts, and place ourselves at the mercy of Lord Yamada?" "As friends, and allies," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 159 "Lord Yamada is kind, forgiving, and compassionate," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 162 "You may trust Lord Yamada," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 164 "Behold," said Tyrtaios, "I bear gifts from my lord, in token of his good will and affection".

6 165 As noted earlier Tyrtaios had not come alone.
Details
10
6 168 At a gesture from Tyrtaios they brought the hampers forward, and placed them on the dais, across its front.
Details
10
6 171 Tyrtaios, too, seemed, surprised at the lack of response amongst the Pani.
Details
10
6 182 "Feast!" said Tyrtaios, gesturing to the heaped hampers of food and drink.
Details
10
6 184 "How soon," asked Tyrtaios, "may we expect to receive your capitulation? How soon may we expect you to abandon the holding?" "The holding stands," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
6 185 "You are starving!" cried Tyrtaios, angrily.
Details
10
6 187 "Yes," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 189 Tyrtaios did not respond.
Details
10
6 190 I supposed Tyrtaios' claim might have been based on rational conjecture, but I supposed, as well, and more plausibly, that communication, of some sort, existed between the holding and the pavilion of Lord Yamada, far below in the plain.
Details
10
6 191 "It is a matter of time, and not a great deal of time," said Tyrtaios, "until resistance must end, until the holding must fall.
Details
10
6 194 "I warn you," said Tyrtaios, "the patience of Lord Yamada is not inexhaustible".
Details
10
6 195 I feared there was much in what Tyrtaios had said.
Details
10
6 204 "Consider your words carefully," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 208 "I meant no discourtesy," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 221 His gaze was fixed on Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 224 "I am offended," said Lord Okimoto to Tyrtaios, "that Lord Yamada would send one such as you to convey his words, a traitor and miscreant.
Details
10
6 225 How better could he express his contempt?" "No insult was intended, great lord," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 228 "I am a soldier," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 232 "The ways of war are common ways," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 238 "Then, great lord," said Tyrtaios, "with all due respect, it must be taken when none live".
Details
10
6 240 "I do not understand," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 242 "I do not understand," said Tyrtaios, uncertainly.
Details
10
6 245 "I do not understand," said Tyrtaios.
Details
10
6 248 I glanced at some of the officers of Lord Yamada who had accompanied Tyrtaios to the holding.
Details
10
6 257 Tyrtaios turned to the shogun.
Details
10
6 262 Tyrtaios and his party, officers and Ashigaru of General Yamada, then turned about, to take their leave.
Details
10
6 263 Tyrtaios turned back, briefly.
Details
10
7 5 After Tyrtaios and the officers and Ashigaru of Yamada who had accompanied him had withdrawn from the holding, I had made my way to the indoor housing area for slaves, and, to my surprise, found it empty.
Details
10
7 156 "Despite the asseverations of our friend, Tyrtaios," he said, "Lord Yamada is not a patient man".
Details
10
7 202 "Such as Tyrtaios," I said.
Details
10
7 240 Too, I recalled that Tyrtaios, oddly, had referred to this presumably mythological beast.
Details
10
11 229 "An emissary from the palace of Lord Yamada, Tyrtaios, the mercenary, has come again to the dais," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 371 It was that of Tyrtaios.
Details
10
12 393 "This is the prisoner, the rebel, Tarl Cabot, enemy to the rightful house of Yamada, Shogun of the Islands, delivered to us by the noble Tyrtaios, devoted, trusted mercenary?" "Yes, Lord," said a voice.
Details
10
12 406 I did not think Tyrtaios was in the room.
Details
10
13 179 One would need, of course, some sort of communication between the two houses, which would be easily enough supplied before the siege in virtue of strangers, wanderers, peddlers, merchants, and such, and, during the siege, by envoys, negotiators, messengers, and such, for example, Tyrtaios.
Details
10
13 457 What gave me pause in the matter, or at least uneasiness, were the references to such a beast by so unlikely an informant as Tyrtaios, who was not Pani, and would not have been likely to be acquainted with Pani lore.
Details
10
13 458 Tyrtaios, as I understood him, a dark realist, as careful and prudential as a knife, was not likely to be the victim of any superstition, let alone that of an alien culture.
Details
10
16 38 I had little doubt that Tyrtaios, into whose hands I had been given, to be later delivered to Lord Yamada, was familiar with the reins and saddle of a tarn.
Details
10
16 50 The most rational conjecture was that two tarns had been used, mine, and one brought to the holding by Tyrtaios.
Details
10
16 57 All in all then, it seemed to be most likely, despite the time involved, that I had been placed on my own tarn and that that tarn, by a lead, would have been conducted by Tyrtaios to whatever point General Yamada might have designated.
Details
10
17 28 "It seems likely," I said, "your noble ally, the barbarian, Tyrtaios, reached the castle of Lord Temmu astride a tarn, secretly, by night, and likely, as well, that my tarn, for such beasts are of great worth, if it were practical, would have been acquired.
Details
10
17 181 "It is our friend, Tyrtaios.
Details
10
17 210 With a blast of dust, and a snapping of wings, Tyrtaios brought the tarn down some forty or fifty paces away, at the far end, to the right of the archery court.
Details
10
17 212 Tyrtaios had his back to me as he was graciously assisting the delicate, richly-clad Sumomo from the saddle ladder to the ground.
Details
10
18 21 "Lords Nishida and Okimoto," said Tajima, "have been told you turned to the enemy, as did Tyrtaios".
Details
10
20 117 "She was brought to the palace, here," I said, "on tarnback, by Tyrtaios".
Details
10
21 112 Tyrtaios, however, presumably at the behest of an angered Lord Yamada, had extracted her from the holding on tarnback before this sentence could be emplaced.
Details
10
21 516 You were to be cast from the parapet at a time corresponding to your casting of the note below, but you were extracted from the holding of Lord Temmu, by Tyrtaios, that you be spared this fate, though only, I fear, to endure one more to the liking of the shogun".
Details
10
22 68 This suggested that the tarn of Tyrtaios was the third tarn.
Details
10
25 272 "Summon Tyrtaios!" called the shogun.
Details
10
25 277 "Tyrtaios to the saddle!" cried the shogun.
Details
10
25 327 Surely those of Lord Yamada, Tyrtaios, and, I thought, one other, for he had two tarns at his disposal, might soon be aflight.
Details
10
25 333 How soon, I wondered, might Tyrtaios, and perhaps another, be asaddle.
Details
10
25 335 I feared he would be an unlikely match for the dangerously skilled Tyrtaios, who, I was confident, was of the black caste, trained in tenacity and guile.
Details
10
27 166 "When in the stadium the tarnsman made away with Sumomo, Lord Yamada issued orders that Tyrtaios, his servitor, was to be asaddle within Ehn, in pursuit.
Details
10
29 54 I recalled how dismayed I had been when, en route to the palace road, to free Haruki and his fellows, if possible, I had seen the two tarns streaking northward, and one mounted doubtless by dangerous and pertinacious Tyrtaios, who, I feared, possessed the subtlety, training, and weaponry of the dark...
Details
10
44 16 Fortunately for Sumomo she had been removed from the holding by Tyrtaios before she was to have been cast from the outer parapet to the ground below, at the very time it was supposed that her next secret message would be anticipated below.
Details
10
47 155 It was here, too, that Tyrtaios had brought his tarn down, delivering the unsuspecting Sumomo to the mercies of her father.
Details
10
54 36 "On foot," I said, "days, but there will be message vulos, and Yamada has two tarns, one flown by Tyrtaios.
Details
10
57 38 It seems that Tyrtaios and his colleague, the two tarnsmen at the disposal of Lord Yamada, had been held at the palace, and the first information pertaining to the new, startling developments in the north were a result of the communications borne by several message vulos.
Details
10
57 55 Lord Yamada had sent Tyrtaios north to apprise him of the situation, but he had returned only days later, with dire reports and small comfort.
Details
10
61 104 Communications would not be trusted to Tyrtaios, and his fellow, allegedly deserted to the banner of Temmu.
Details
10
61 162 Tyrtaios and his fellow, masters of these two tarns, had disappeared.
Details
10
61 245 "The location of Tyrtaios, and Straton, his fellow, who rode for Lord Yamada, is not known," said Lord Nishida.
