It’s made me feel seen, and loved, and wrapped in a huge cloud of softness, so it deserves its title.

Scarrow may have used these revolts to inform his fictional narrative of a similar revolt on Crete. Historically, there have been only three major Roman slave revolts documented by ancient historians - two on the island of Sicily and the famous revolt led on the Italian mainland by a Thracian slave turned gladiator named Spartacus. The two heroes are in pursuit of a nasty former gladiator named Ajax who led a slave revolt on Crete following an earthquake and tsunami.
