There is also an important difference between the Vanquished, the Victim, and the Ineffective. In the semi-mythic sense that you're talking about, Vincent, I can't think of a single lasting culture hero who was ineffective, and only some post-modernists who were the Victim. The Vanquished, otoh, have some damn powerful stories.
So, in the theme of Rome, let us cast our swords upon the scales and call out "Woe unto the vanquished."
