Talk:Rogues in the House

Untitled

Removed personal opinion: As with all derivative imitators Carter's vignettes lack the biting irony of the Howardian prototype and are repeated too often to maintain a parvence of verisimilitude (practically Thongor manages to scrounge up meals in every gaol and dungeon he's thrown in).

This isn't a book review, it's an encyclopedia. And this article is about the story at hand, not Carter.

Argos- the place of this story?

The names mentioned in this story, one spanish(Murillo)one italic(Petrejus) and one quasi-semitic(Nabodnidus) indicate Argos, situated between Shem to the south and Zingara to the north. Is it to Zingara, (homeland of his ancestors?)that Murillo sells secrets? It should be underscored that Nabodnidus quite obviously is a priest of Mitra!His enemies with Petrejus as leader are called idealistic nationalists. Murillo indicates that Nabodnidus is some kind of quisling,representing some foreign overlordship. Perhaps Aquilonia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.130.31.203 (talk) 08:38, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

"Written" threat

Someone keeps writing that the ear that Murilo receives is a written threat. Ears are generally not written, they are grown. And there is no mention of a duck, roasted or otherwise. Being out of copyright, the story is freely available online, so please search through to find mention of either a written threat or a duck - you will find neither.88.89.96.120 (talk) 17:22, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
