Off-topic essays etc moved here

[edit]

I've carefully moved these doubtless well-meant interpolations here without editing them. The subject, remember, is Cassiterides:

  • Dissing Strabo: " Although the Geographica was rarely utilized in its contemporary antiquity, a multitude of copies are found throughout the Byzantine Empire. For all his excellence, Strabo unfortunately is not completely free from mistakes, as might be expected from many ancient authors."
  • "[Pliny] considers it a fabulous story that the Greeks fetched white lead from the islands of the Adriatic.[1] It was a very fabulous story, because white lead was also called Venetian ceruse and was a 16th century cosmetic."
  • Essay:""The victor writes the history and determines the vocabulary." Such rules of thumb and interpretations openly or unacknowledged are spoken public opinion. History tries its compelling power in relative, more sophisticated and more differentiated opinions.[3]"
