hmmm...maybe "foes bear arms to the doors of death" means the romans and greeks working together to close the doors of death or destroying the doors of death (conversations about both POV make sense) but after what "Sumvates" said about "things in prophecies are not always meant t be taken literally" it stimulated another idea...that may not be that relevant to this discussion, but i would like to mention it, nevertheless. wat if "bearing arms to the doors of death" didnt literally mean the doors of death in tartarus, but what if it meant the presence of dying itself, like a metaphor. because "doors of death" seems like a greeting with death (could mean dying or monsters etc) so "bearing arms to the doors of death" could mean the romans and greeks sticking together to the end- even when meeting with death
