Could it be this: Latro's lapses of memory between each day provide for him 
a much fuller alternation of day and night than for other people.
         I don't remember very much from the books. Which god did Latro 
offend? Someone connected with the sphinx? This god/goddess would be the 
author of his alternating condition.
