It is traditionally recognized that Talos's single vein was pinned at the heel. If that has changed by some new discovery, I don't know. But keep in mind that's not the only clue in the riddle.
I guess the "fated with one flaw" threw some people off. But "stands on the shore day and night" and "skin of bronze" should have cued you in.
I understand "stand on the shore" could represent Styx, but it doesn't really fit the rest of the riddle.
Okay now...
What theme for the next round would be best for you guys?
Troy <----> Asgard <-----> Creatures Creeping

Troy is somewhat my thing due to the aftermath being tangentially related to something I have a keen interest in.

Caesar is quoted as saying that of all the Gauls, the belgians were the bravest due to their tendency to wage war, neglect personal hygiene and the lack of consummation of effeminate wines.
So...
EDIT: Oh, and I meant the Aeneid, but that would be a boring reply.

Revived!! (again )
Seeing as sith seems to have been absent for some time...
I'm just going to go straight into it this time. Please message answers; one point for each correct answer.
Round Two - Egypt
Gleaming in the night;
Sacred arbiter of fight;
Ruler of order and chaos;
The golden bird, from the golden egg.
Always around the fire;
With the horns, chews the cud;
Company for the hero;
Music and joy as well.
Hunter of the pride;
Of the Sun, to Earth and Sky;
The Nile lies within;
In a rage; Nubia must fear.
Misunderstood and hated;
So must the story go;
"The Traitor!" Cries majestically;
The bane of all, you must know.
Good luck!
Taking answers from now until 14 March 10:00 PM Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC +11)
