The City of Eretria's Peuketii subjects have captured a massive herd of sheep from the Lucani, shepherds from the interior of Italia. With that assurance he turned again to his farm, and was lost in thought about the thought of returning to his bright little daughter. He could sit on the porch of his farmhouse, looking out towards the fields, not worrying a jot about Peuketii riders descending on his home. With it at an end, an enemy would be quashed and Eretria's fears at an end. A collection of malcontents, bandits, defiant warriors, and refugees, the town was the last holdout of independence among their people. This is how it was to be, and that Azetion did not understand this simple fact was an affront that they would now finally correct. The Peuketii were a people related to the Illyrians who came to Epulia to settle in some long-forgotten time, but in this present age they were subjects of the Eretrians, forced to bear the yoke after the Eretrians had routed their kings and turned their cities to ashes. It had been the longest siege in his memory, to be sure, but it was worth it. He endured jeers from the battlements of the barbaroi, because he knew that the jeers had grown quieter and weaker over the months.
Only the fact that today the siege would come to an end allowed him peace of mind. The thoughts of the hoplite who sat leaning on his shield turned often to family and farm, only one week to the northeast but a million miles farther in his imagination. Greeks were not accustomed to long sieges, and the season was coming to an end. Every day their cavalry, and those of their subjugated Peuketii allies, ranged farther to hunt for food. Another wall, smaller, of piled rocks and gravel, surrounded it, and beyond that the Eretrians camped.They were tired and hungry, it was true. Arranged in the manner of a stone drum, the city's new-built walls alone did not shrink from the sun. In this terrible place there nevertheless stood stout and defiant a town, the Peuketii settlement of Azetion. The clouds fled the presence of the overbearing sun and the trees wilted in his gaze, affording no shelter the greens of the shrubs were faded and tired, leeched by the heat and drought. To the Eretrians, the hills were as sores and the plateau the body of some titan only that could explain the terrible dryness that accompanied them everywhere they went. This was not a favorable place, but a karst landscape where water readily escaped into the ground. Lond.Stone and sand mingled in the shadow of the God Helios as he rose triumphant over the landscape, his rays piercing the veil of night that had covered the plateau of Murgia.
