Extract

My theme is tragical–historical–philosophical.

Though the chief characters are Aristotle and Agamemnon, there are strong supporting roles for Heraclitus and Professor Sir Denys Page, and you will also hear the voices of Aeschylus, Spinoza, J. A. Froude and Professor A. W. H. Adkins.

Heraclitus speaks first: ‘dis es ton auton potamon’, he says, ‘ouk an embaiês.’
