This chapter's epigraph is from a poem called "The Wild Wind," which describes a storm raging across the sea. The poem's title refers to the storm's raging wind, which is a metaphor for the power of the sea and its inhabitants. The storm is described as a "wild wind" , which means "wind" in Latin. It is also a reference to the Latin word for "storm" or "wind," which is the same word used in Greek mythology to refer to a storm. This passage describes the storm as it rages across the land. It also describes the captain of the storm, a man named Agamemnon, who is a member of the "booted musketeers," a group of soldiers who have been defeated by the Greek army. The captain asks the captain to help him make a sword for the Greek soldiers. He also asks that the captain give him some advice on how to use the sword. The two men agree to meet again later in the evening.
