References

"With your shield or on it" is a phrase supposedly said by a Spartan mother to her soldier son; the idea is that returning with the shield meant you were a victorious hero. Returning on your shield made you a courageous hero. Returning without it made you a coward.
- A similar reference appeared in the Terry Pratchett book Jingo.
The last part of the description is a reference to the movie Willow.
