    First blunder of 2019: Bought a Medieval Byzantine bio of Saint Symeon the Theologian thinking it was Saint Symeon the Stylite στυλίτης. Took me a while to realize it.pic.twitter.com/A7JSjcZNsE

        I would consider it a very good day if I ever made a mistake like that.

        If you do have a recommendation for a non-awful Epictetus book I'd be interested. I seem to also have a knack for picking duffers when it comes to Hellenic stuff.

        A happy fault. The one you bought is more valuable work. We know so little about the Stylite his bio would be speculative.
