Sometimes you need an assassin to save you… Eleven years ago, Lieutenant William Stanton's entire world imploded. He lost his brother and the family he created with his Marine squad. He left his old life behind to hunt down the people responsible for his brother's death. Avenging his brother is all he's thought about, all he's been working toward, for over a decade. A sexy little assassin shouldn't be able to distract him from that goal, but Colt makes him want things he's been without for years. Going rogue from the CIA is a gamble, but Colt 'Shadow' Castillo knows his worth. He's not surprised when his handler sends someone to bring him back in, but the man that shows up is not who he expects. The missing lieutenant of the Black Raiders lives up to the stories Colt has been told, but there's a darkness in the man only someone like himself can recognize. Something that draws him in and leaves him wanting more. Colt has people to save, and Will has a murder to avenge, but can they handle that along with what may be a chance at happiness when reality and all the dangers that comes with it crashes down around them?

This clearly written, beautifully illustrated book introduces a previously unrecognized Homeric theme, the 'belted hero, ' and argues for its lasting historical, literary, and archaeological significance. The belted hero fuses king, warrior, charioteer, and athlete into a supreme image of political power. The special 'heroic warrior's belts' (zosteres) worn by Agamemnon, Menelaos, and Nestor served as unimpeachable visual emblems of their exalted positions of rank. The feminine counterpart, or zone, presents the woman as superior in the competitive arena of love. Bennett shows that the belted hero represented an ideology attractive to wealthy landowners, their oikoi, and inter-family connections. He suggests that the communal spirit of the hoplite phalanx attempted to appropriate the belted hero ideal, even while undermining its ethos of personal honor. Bennett also makes several important iconographic interpretations that provide fundamentally new insights into early Greek oral epic compositional techniques, conceptions of time, and cosmological structure. Belted Heroes and Bound Women will be of interest to scholars and students of early Greek art, history, or literature.
