Narrative corrections
I have altered the reference to Conan being knocked out by a stone. Originally, it implied that Conan killed the pirate captain and was knocked out by a stone from said captain's sling. In the story, the stone is launched by one of the pirate captain's lieutenants at the same moment. Random noter (talk) 15:03, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

== The youth sacrified in this story must come from the ancient empire to the far east of the ancestors of the ruling elite of much later Stygia. He is a mortal son of one of the nameless gods, perhaps The Great Dark Nameless one from "The altar and the Scorpion". If Ctesphon, preist-king of Stygia in Conans days is a descendant of - or even himself is!- such a mortal godsson his person ought nto be a stronger and more mature version of the slender handsome youth with curly golden hair and alabaster-white skin described in this story. ==

King Ctesphon of Stygia in the days of Conan may be another godsson and resemble the youth in this story. 217.21.226.229 (talk) 10:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
