But doesn't Mr. Wolfe explicitly mention guard robots under the Talos entry in "Onomastics?" A role Dr. Talos actually plays in Chapter XXXV of Sword -- there's one small connection for you.
Okay. Perhaps Wolfe & Edmund Spencer read some of the same books!
Well, yeah, I bet they did. Maybe Apollonius Rhodus, Apollodorus or Plato, all of whom tell the story.
Or, in Wolfe's case, Graves, who cites them.
Whee, I can post again!
