Just a rainy day.
The absence of Achilles has impacted the men badly. It seems like the weather knows this.
The good news is that Macar got my nails. The first shipment anyway.
Elpenor and Epeius seem to be getting along well enough. Even though Elpenor can be a real stroke, he is actually very dependable. Whenever I tell him that something needs to be done, he gets right to it. I guess that kiss-asses aren't all bad.
Anyway, Elpenor and Epeius have cleared an area where the horse is to be built, and the supplies are starting to stack up.
There is a lot of curiosity surrounding the project, and rumors are starting to spread. A lot of men were hanging about and getting in the way at first, so I asked Misenus to take care of build-site security.
The prevailing rumor is that we are building some kind of monstrous siege engine. -That seems reasonable. I have also heard that we are building a Temple to Ares, in an attempt to gain his favor. One of the crazier ones is that we are building a huge barn, in order to store an enormous breed of horses. Apparently, the Minyans are off sailing to Rhodes to get them.
Polites is a great bullshitter, and he's taken it upon himself to properly misinform the men. He has become quite serious about it, taking notes and everything. Each night Polites strolls from fire to fire, drinking and sowing seeds of bullshit in the fertile minds of our curious soldiers.
He is pretty pleased with the success of his current rumor: Odysseus is building a huge trophy for some Titans whom have promised to hold a wrestling match within the walls of Troy.
Anything that keeps the men from dwelling on the loss of Achilles is good, I guess.
