Odes To The Greats: A Philosophy Lesson In Verse: The Socratic & Hellenistic Eras (Ode To Sphaerus)

A Stoic known for accuracy of definition,

My ponderances were acts of attrition,

Against Ptolemy's waxy tricks.

My works were varied & profound,

All to quell the unsound,

And burn both candlesticks.
