Since I received a few questions in SYW about my take on the matter - what better way than a poll? Plus, I'm too foggy from a nasty head cold to write my next scene, so a little Friday night diversion is nice.
I just finished a scene of a fistfight between two young Spartan soldiers - one is the nineteen year-old son of a highly respected Commander of a Division (Lochos), and the other is a twenty year-old soldier with no special bloodlines. Both are well-respected for their abilities and courage.
The fight occurs during the Hyacinthia - a religious festival dedicated to Apollo.
Now for the poll. During the fistfight, how would Spartan men behave who happen by and witness the fight? Granted there will be individuals who may do any of these, but what would be most likely? And if you wouldn't mind posting your reason for your choice, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
