bronze-edged
Why is bronze mentioned 500 years after the Greece Iron Age.
Maybe the story is meant to have happened earlier while still in the Bronze Age.
But other, seemingly contemporary people are imputed with bronze accoutrement.
even though bronze was a less useful material than steel, maybe it became a celebrated material with a connotation of celebrity and stories heroes by dint of its having been, naturally, associated with the great heroes and celebrities of the bronze age
