The Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Nelson. Or, sometimes all it takes is one mistake to get caught slippin’. A luxury you cannot afford. Even Poseidon can’t save you. Nelson is ordered to destroy the Spanish fleet off of Cadiz at Trafalgar and succeeds. However, a few well placed spies make quick knife work of an exhausted, and handicapped Nelson. His loss was mourned by his friends and surely celebrated by his enemies. That’s the way hero worship works in real life.
