Check this out. This is a Mycenean bronze sword from circa 1450 BC, found in the tomb of the "Griffin Warrior" at Pylos.
The blade's bronze, but the handle's made of translucent agate with gold inlays.
If you could make a truly all-stone sword, this'd be a great hilt for one.
In The Metamorphoses, a young Roman named Lucius travels to Thessaly, where his reckless curiosity drives him to experiment with dark magic. Seeking to transform into a bird, a mistaken ingredient instead mutates him into a donkey.
To reverse the curse, he must consume a fresh rose, but before he can, he is captured by bandits.
Thus begins a harrowing odyssey through the lower stratums of Roman society, during which he endures captivity, witnesses bizarre cult rituals, and hears various local fables.
Ultimately, the goddess Isis takes pity on his degradation and orchestrates his cure via a priestly procession, instigating a restored Lucius to dedicate his life to her sacred mystery cult.
