This Mardonios is playing a somewhat different role in the Ionian revolt.

How it's played out seems about what I could expect; let's see how far desire, creative application of the rules/law, and possibly a case solution that is sufficient of a "coup" to upset the power dynamics get them!

:) you do know your Mardonioses.

Upstream where I am, there's all kinds of things going on I did not expect to be happening … I have an idea where it's going, but the relationships between the parties are still being revealed to me …

I honestly only looked at the Wikipedia today, but it's not lost on me to look because I know you make references, symbolism, etc.

It’s tricky making them all work together, AND making convincing arguments for survival/revival/reinterpretation/parallel development into the 32nd century. Fortunately humans repeat things, and echo each other from Finland to Tasmania.

Last night I went down a rabbit hole and started pulling unexpected references into Hee-young … the things you learn!!

I have no frame of reference for K-pop/K-drama beside a manwha or two, so we'll see!

Pro gaming references are probably my slight South Korean cultural strong point.

Ravens and ancient Greek novels are becoming important.
