Steven Volunteers for High-Risk Infiltration

Diomede’s uniform is provided to Steven by Odysseus as a critical prop for his infiltration plan. The uniform, bloodstained and repurposed from a deceased Greek soldier, serves as both a disguise and a grim reminder of the war’s cost. Its condition—torn, bloodied, and sized to fit Steven—adds authenticity to his ruse, while its origins underscore the Greeks’ willingness to exploit even their dead for strategic gain. The uniform’s transfer from Diomede’s tent to Steven’s possession marks a pivotal moment, as it enables his mission and symbolizes the cyclical nature of war (one soldier’s death becoming another’s tool for survival).

Before: Stored in Diomede’s tent, bloodstained and unused since his death
