In the realm of ancient tales and epic sagas, the concept of being "slain" resonates with a haunting beauty. Like a melancholic ballad or the mournful cries of Twa Corbies, it echoes through time. From the celestial canvas above, Orion's Star Map reveals constellations that immortalize heroes slain in mythic battles. Just as Patroclus fell in the midst of Troy's turmoil, his story forever intertwined with that of Achilles in the Iliad. The Roland card depicts a valiant knight meeting his tragic end on the battlefield, while within Washington DC's Library of Congress Mural, Orpheus' sorrowful melody laments lost love and life. In Welsh folklore, a mighty wyvern is slain by brave souls who dare to challenge its fiery wrath. And so it goes with Sir Lamorack and countless other knights whose valorous deeds ended tragically. Even Lancelot himself faced Tarquin's treachery but emerged victorious despite their deadly encounter. Angels of Death hover over battlefields where warriors' souls ascend from mortal realms to eternal rest. Yet amidst these tales of woe and strife, there is solace found in sisterly help depicted delicately upon pencil-drawn paper. It reminds us that even amid darkness and despair, compassion can bring light to those who suffer. The Battle of Evesham stands as an emblematic clash marking both triumph and tragedy. Prince Edward led royalist forces against Simon de Montfort; victory was achieved at great cost as de Montfort was slain upon this fateful day. Through these stories etched into our collective consciousness, we are reminded that life's tapestry weaves together joy and sorrow - for every hero fallen brings forth lessons learned and legends born anew.
