: It wasn't competely unknown. The oracle of Delphi, for
: instance, once told a man that, one day, his horse
: would kill him. To prevent this, he killed the horse
: first. Some time later, a group of bandits attacked
: his house and killed him. But these were very poor
: bandits, unable to afford swords, and when they had
: happened to come across a pile of bleaching horse's
: bones...
Interesting story, I've always found Greek legend to be some of the best, and that's not just two years of enforced study finally coming through. :)
: However, it should also be noted that the Myrm's
: gridaksma blades only had bone handles: we can see
: from the game that the blade itself is metal. And,
: personally, I think the choice of handle was as much
: to freak out their opponents as anything else. :)
Exactly the point I was trying to make earlier, that the bone is more of a 'bad boy' thing than for practical reasons. Of course you'd sound evil if you wielded bone swords. Just like you'd sound fairly harmless if you wielded feathers....
