Anaximandros upon return to his summer home: “Something smells, Alkmioni must have been right, I left the sardines in that jar last summer. Does not smell halfway bad, let’s take some of this golden juice and try on the bread, gold is a good colour, a godly one. After all, Alkmioni has gone have a bath with her childhood friends and we won’t be eating till later. This tastes amazing.” And the rest is history unlike the preceding.

I stashed a bladder of goat milk under the quadriga. Smells earthy. Let’s take some of this clotted white pâté and try on the bread. White is a good colour, like the clouds. Oh, this also tastes amazing. Pass the liquamen, would you.” And so forth.
