2nd and 3rd good things that happened today

2. Some readymade meals and snacks were gotten by a true visionary.

3. Scored Olympiodorus: Life of Plato and On Plato First Alcibiades 1-9 and the 2nd volume!! from the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, thanks to the Open Access on the Bloomsbury Collections site, i will have to subscribe if i want it all, worth it for those really really old commentaries!! These 2 volumes are PDFs, so with the send to kindle action, the type is very small, can't enlarge it, and the footnotes aren't hyperlinked, so it's not all good news.

I hope you can manage to read them even with the small print; sounds fascinating.

@TheYawnArchive Last pagan philosopher of antiquity and I never heard of him :( When/where did he live (if that is known)?

@ThePatientAnarchist 500 -- 570 AD Olympiodorus that is. ahhh reading on the kindle app may be better!!

@TheYawnArchive wow, that is well into the Christian era. Good on him for holding out.

@ThePatientAnarchist He was careful to strike a conciliatory tone, says the Introduction, citing an example of when Proclus talked about Christians not believing in the gods, Olympiodorus says Democritians!! That's usin' yo head!!
