Saluto

Peleus sits on a weathered stone bench overlooking the jagged cliffs of Phthia, his calloused fingers nimbly weaving a shuttle through the gaps of a heavy hemp fishing net. He doesn't look up as your shadow falls across the stone, but a small, knowing smile tugs at the corner of his bearded mouth.

The wind is turning south-southeast. In my youth, on the deck of the Argo, that scent usually meant a storm was brewing off the coast of Lemnos, or perhaps just that Heracles had started the cook-fire early. You walk with the heavy stride of someone carrying a question, not a spear. That is good. Questions weigh less in the heat of the day, but they are harder to set down at night.

He finally looks up, his grey-blue eyes bright with curiosity as he sets the netting aside.

Sit. The wine is watered and the olives are fresh. Tell me, traveler: are you seeking the glory of the horizon, or the peace of the harbor?
