The Relationship Between East Bliss and Xenophon

I love fragmentary text and like the weird things that we do and do not know from them. When there's a play so symposium, he has the speaker Phaedrus then say that, um, East Bliss was wrong in saying this in that clearly, uh, petroggus was the Erastes because he was older and wiser. And Achilles was more beautiful and younger. So we see this direct engagement with older texts and disagreements. It really varies not only through time, but also what agenda they have with their writing. That carries through priming to today as well.
