Not to mention this is about ten years after the Trojan war, right? So Alcaeus would have been 26, and Bion was fighting in it....at ten years old? *sorry, just want to clear everything up so the SB isn't confusing*
I always thought his journey was ten years long. I don't really know, though hahaha. I haven't read it since freshman year of high school, and even then I just skimmed it hahaha
