I'm going to respond to this in the OOC thread where there's a little more room for discussion.
And I don't really understand Bios' last couple of statements: Why would saying that the Achaeans beat the Trojans make him unpopular here? We are in Greece, right? Isn't this a commonly known fact?
While we are in Greece, of course, we're in the part of Greece that fought on the side of Troy. Troy
lost. Historical accuracy aside, you can hardly expect someone who goes about saying that, based on the evidence, it was apparent the Trojans were
going to lose,
and trying to sell the book to the people who lost, might be worried about himself. Also, little hints dropped in his speech here and there, Bios is also borderline paranoid. Just sayin'.
Anyway, to break it down even simpler:
a) The party is in Thracia (Northeastern Greece)
b) Thracia fought
for Troy, against "the Greeks"
c) Bios's opinion falls under the headline of "Trojans had it coming"
Bios figures his book wouldn't be popular in Thracia. It's political. It'd be kinda like rubbing it in the faces of the fans that their favorite sports team LOST 10 years ago. Oh,
and their team died.
