Steven Saylor Quotes

Why Have Two Figures Of Such Remarkable Interest Been So Scanted By The Annalists And Historians, So Overlooked By Philosophers, Poets, And Priests? I Think It May Be That They Were, To Put It Bluntly, Too Disreputable. They Were Too Stubbornly Independent To Give Allegiance To A Single City And Thus Become Subject Matter For A Civic Epic. They Were Too Often Involved With Demons And Sorcerers To Appeal To The Staid Philosopher And Too Shifty To Please The Sober Historian. In Short, They Were Rogues, And Rogues Have No Place In The Lists Of Kings And Demigods And Heroes. It May Be That No Poet Shall Ever Write Of Them, Alas!
