Finally the last book in the tale of Roland and his katet. I read the first book "The Gunslinger" back in 1983. The latest book was released on 9/21 and so far it is living up to its expectations.
The reason for this post is because of a reference Stephen King makes in this book to Molon Labe.
The reference is on page 85:
"At Piper school Jake had learned about the Battle of Thermopylae, where the Greeks had held off a Persian army that had outnumbered them ten to one. The Greeks had drawn the Persians into a narrow mountain pass; he had this kitchen door."
I won't say any more about the story because I don't want to ruin it for anyone. I was happy to see a reference to this tale in pop culture and wanted to point it out.
