“Yes, love,” he said gently. “Everyone we’ve met and all we walk with. We’re nearly home. And Eleusis is not far beyond. ” More feet crashed through the snow onto their path, a caravan of the starving and sick, bound for the promise of food, praying to all the gods that they’d make it. Dimitris pointed at the shadowy outlines of those around them, some walking faster, driven by hunger or by grief for the dead they had left along their journey. Others trudged slowly across the frozen landscape: those with children, the elderly, and the ones refusing to abandon their dead. “Demeter is in Eleusis. There’s food there. And so many people.”
