The Testiad unexpectedly Returns

Testes son of Gonad returns in a tale of Glory and sacred stone defilement.  Earlier reports of his demise were much exaggerated.

Sing oh Muse
Tell of the Hittites Foul
Who came to the land of the Cypress trees
And planted a stone to unpronounceable gods
Tell of the Hero Mighty Testes
And acts he performed to defile their monument.

The poet Old Blind Humor regrets to inform his audience that he finds all Hittites names unprouncable.

The Hittites have come to Cyprus and planted a sacred stone to one of their gods.  They claim the Island.   The local Sea Peoples beg to differ.  Testes of the Peleset and his ally Pajamarama advance on the stone.

The Hittites deploy in two factions with a gap between.

Arsius, Tested junior hero charges in his chariots.  The Hittites run away 

But I have left Arsius exposed!

Testes advances on the sacred stone and defiles it.  The Hittites meanwhile see a nice hill and occupy it.

The clash.  The Hittites descend upon us.

And Arsius withdraws into the line.  He rejoins the warrior foot 

Testes defiles the sacred stone even more!

Arsius gets stuck in on the right flank

And over on the left it gets closer to a fight.

My archers perfect their dancing in woods skills

And Arsius gets stuck in 

He kills the opposing commander in single combat

And Testes thrusts forwards.  Not a great fight for us but we keep defiling the stone by surrounding it with a ring of Sea Peoples stools.

And at Pub o' clock it's the Sea Peoples victory.  But only because we defiled like madmen!  The sceptics claimed it couldn't be done, but we had a vision!
