The ode of the Halicarnassans may be sung until the death of the gods. The brave deaths in defense of their homeland will earn a hundred, no a thousand odes in the years to come. Indeed, in the great saga of the Imperial Invasion, the tragedy of Halicarnassus may serve as a warning against infighting when faced with a greater threat. However, the first blood of the Empire has been spilled. The Oligarchs at Naxos have been overthrown and the people invited to form a new democratically elected government dedicated to fighting for Grecian independence (... and Athenian hegemony).
