I don't know the bonus, but I love 'tendo achillii' (The Romans used,
wittily, no capitals). It's the mark of masculinity: Apollo is not the hero of
masculinity because he is no man, he is a god. Achille is half-god (that
mother
of his) but he had the v. masculine 'tendo', all from Peleo, his papa.
To be masculine is to have a 'tendo'. Cfr. "Adam's apple".
Cheers,
JLS
