Plutarch writes about an attempt by Xenocrates to calculate the total number of syllables which could be made from the letters of the alphabet. |
Xenocrates embraced the young man, and admitted him among his disciples. |
Aristotle then accompanied Xenocrates to the court of his friend Hermias of Atarneus in Asia Minor. |
Xenocrates says that the stars are moved in one and the same superficies. |
Christine then, lovely and charming enough to wreck the chastity of a Xenocrates, would sleep naked with her uncle! |
A reference, in part, to Aristotle, who for three years lived and taught in Assos with Erastus and Xenocrates. |
