Apollonius Of Tyana In Rhodes
Read 'Apollonius Of Tyana In Rhodes' by 'Constantine P Cavafy' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
Apollonius was talking about
proper education and conduct with a young
man who was building a luxurious
house in Rhodes. "As for me" said the Tyanian
at last, "when I enter a temple
however small it may be, I very much prefer
to see a statue of ivory and gold
than a clay and vulgar one in a large temple".--
The "clay" and "vulgar"; the detestable:
that already some people (without enough training)
it deceives knavishly. The clay and vulgar.
