"The Sleepers" focuses on the King Under Mountain motif in folklore. These legendary undead heros, often accompanied by armed retainers, sleep in remote and covert dwellings which include caves, mountaintops, islands or mystical worlds. It is foretold that they will waken at the hour of their country’s greatest need. The presence of the hero goes unsuspected until a herdsman or meandering passerby enters the cave unknowingly and chances upon him.
