Didn't actually know we only had access to 1% of the ancient Greeks works. So the ones we are so excited about today may not have been the best ones, just the ones that survived 🤔
On another note, I read a blog yesterday about a bloke who'd just bought a cordless drill to do some maintenance on his farmhouse that was built in 1773! Sailors had only just started visiting NZ to plunder the seals and whales, and no-one was yet building seriously here.
It takes a certain faith and belief in the future, and substantial wealth, to build for permanence.
Different library! I think Hadrian was the younger and smaller sibling of Alexandria. Also: imagine getting stuck into that kind of building history. I am nervous enough about screwing into my gib. Mind blown 🤯
