The goddess Roma spurs on Horatius Painting by Charles Le Brun

In every Age, there are events, driven by men of courage, fearless and Brave.

Why do men choose to face impossible odds, facing certain Death?

Love.

Storytelling is essential for the Spirit to survive the slings and arrows of fate, and the purpose of storytelling is to extend that spirit to those who come after.

This is Legacy.

A nice Presentation: Hortatius

Horatius at the Bridge:

To every man upon this earth

Death cometh soon or late,

And how can man die better

Than facing fearful odds,

For the ashes of his fathers,

And the temples of his gods.1

~ Horatius
