		But over time a better understanding of one word that is always attached to these inscriptions and a greater willingness on the part of scholars to accept the truth of the matter changed all that.
		Because the text opens with an invocation to the god Apollo we understand that what follows describes a religious rite involving the giving of “arete.” Crimon not only announces that he is increasing the youth’s “arete” by putting his seed into him, he also proclaims the boy as “high-born” by naming his father.
		I have included “The Giving of Arete” because — although not a legend as such, but rather a fact of ancient Dorian behavior — it was a socio-religious phenomenon completely dependent upon belief in the entire pantheon of Greek gods, heroes, nymphs, etc., and the religious construct of the countless myths surrounding them.

		For those not familiar with the symbolism of the pomegranate, it was the fruit Hades, Greek god of the Underworld, offered to the goddess Persephone to keep her by his side in the deep-down kingdom of the nether regions.
		All cultures have mythologies, but for many of us raised in Western culture, the word “myth” has come to mean the classical Greek myths—the unpredictable pantheon of Zeus and his gang—and the closely related Roman myths.
		Like poetry, mythology never goes away but it changes; it shapes to who we are, what is important to us and how we angle our way through lives fraught with no less chaos and danger than those of the ancient Greeks.

		"Soldier in the Mist" and "Soldier of Arete" feel like an exercise, Wolfe consciously attempting to develop a storyline where the protagonist and setting are as contrary to the "Book of the New Sun" as possible.
		In SOLDIER OF ARETE, Latro is part of a team searching for a Persian engineer who disappeared into the wilderness, and the novel ends with a cliffhanger in which Latro cleverly gains his freedom.
		And one further problem is that in SOLDIER OF ARETE the plot moves in one point much too slowly.
