Talos

Talos was a colossal automaton of bronze in ancient Greek mythology who was tasked with the protection of Europa, mother to King Minos. Talos diligently patrolled the perimeter of the island of Crete three times daily, hurling volleys of boulders at any would-be invaders brave enough to stray close. Whilst attempting to land the Argo upon the shores of the island, the sorceress Medea vanquished Talos by casting a spell that drove him to madness, causing him to pluck out the bronze nail from the vein that ran from his ankle to his neck, draining the molten ichor that gave him animation.

There’s a very particular eeriness that befalls ruins during the golden hour. I’m living for it.

I'm a Slytherin. Ask yourself, if you can understand just how much this knowledge is helping in everyday life. You may strive for success, self respect, to find motives and will. Good. I don't. I'm a Slytherin.
