Here’s the bit.
At the afterlife check-in desk, Pausanias recounts how a failed betrayal left him facing his fellow Spartans. He found refuge in a temple, confident that its sacred status would protect him. His enemies found a way around that protection, giving Death a particularly satisfying story to process.
