jjporFic: The Spartans, Part Five: The Gathering Storm
The next instalment: The two camps continue to prepare for the coming battle and in quite a lot of cases, it turns out, "prepare" means "get drunk". The pre-battle drinking customs of the Spartans and the peculiar Persian custom of drunken decision-making are, amazingly, both true. The song Jamie sings is an extract from the Jacobite air "Tranent Muir", which is, as he says, about the battle of Prestonpans at which I presume he may have been present.
