First was a long line of chariots, drawn by the great fierce horses of Stygia, with plumes on their heads—snorting and rearing as each naked driver leaned back, bracing his powerful legs, his dusky arms knotted with muscles. The fighting-men in the chariots were tall figures, their hawk-like faces set off by bronze helmets crested with a crescent supporting a golden ball. Heavy bows were in their hands. No common archers these, but nobles of the South, bred to war and the hunt, who were accustomed to bringing down lions with their arrows.
Behind these came a motley array of wild men on half-wild horses – the warriors of Kush, the first of the great black kingdoms of the grasslands south of Stygia. They were shining ebony, supple and lithe, riding stark naked and without saddle or bridle. |

Кто в курсе, можно ли не случайно (всякое бывает), а целенаправленно охотиться на львов с луком?
Можно ли голым без узды и седла ездить на лошадях? Страшно подумать, во что превратится жопа, нижняя часть яиц, внутренняя часть ног
.
Плюс к тому, кто-то разобрался, как малочисленные силы Конана одолели орду? Погибло как-никак 50k людей.

Что-то тут не то. Особенно с голыми на лошадях. Может, рассказ написан после встречи с Лавкрафтом, который, по слухам, увлекался веществами
?
