<<Artegal is the personification & champion of Justice. Artegal has
a companion in [TALUS], a metal man who wields a flail & never sleeps
or tires but will mercilessly pursue and kill any number of villains.
[TALUS] obeys Artegal's command, and serves to represent justice
without mercy (hence, Artegal is the more human face of justice).
Later, [TALUS] does not rescue Artegal from enslavement by the wicked
Radigund, because Artegal is bound by a legal contract to serve her.>> --------------------------------------------------------------

<<After Helen had been kidnapped by Paris, the Oath of Tyndareus was invoked, according to which all previous suitors of Helen should defend the couple in any future setback. Odysseus had also taken the oath, but did not want to take part in the war,
because an oracle had told him it would take him decades to return to his family. Agamemnon sent Palamedes in order to get Odysseus; when he arrived in Ithaca, Odysseus pretended to be insane by plowing salt in his fields. Palamedes realised that this
was a trick, and put Odysseus' infant son Telemachus in front of the plow. Odysseus, unable to kill his son, revealed his trick and was forced to join the Greek army.>>
