I wasn't aware of that but, yes, they were led by Achilles according to Greek mythology. They were apparently known for being loyal to their leaders and the word "myrmidon" carried the same connotation back then that "robot" does today. Now I'm curious what the correct spelling is, because I also see it spelled with an "a" at the end in place of the "i".
My browser suggested that spelling, so I used it. Believe me, if it weren't for spell check, I'd be lost.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.
