Classical Studies at the Pool June 12, 2007

Mr Music doubles as Mr History around here. So, why was I surprised about his reaction to this T-shirt I use as a cover up at the pool? I mean, I’m the one who taught him the Veritas Press history card “Greek Philosophers” so that he knows first was Socrates, then Plato, and then Aristotle who went on to teach Alexander.

a few links are missing here

So, I have on this T-shirt and he says to me, “What happened to Aristotle?” (I guess the shirt would be a whole lot longer if it included all the links between Plato and Sinatra.)

Then, he wanted to know, “Who was Alexander’s student, anyhow?” Well, he knows A t Great did not live long, so it was a silly question. Still, he was not prepared for the silly answer I gave him: Bucephalus. I got to kiss Mr Music good-night while he was laughing.

Let me know if you see a shirt that quotes Bucephalus. I’d order one for Mr Music.
