But there is a natural difference between a female and a slave: for nature is not like the artists who make the
Delphic swords for the use of the poor, but for every particular purpose she has her separate instruments, and thus her ends are most complete, for whatsoever is employed on one subject only, brings that one to much greater perfection than when employed on many; and yet among the barbarians, a female and a slave are upon a level in the community, the reason for which is, that amongst them there are none qualified by nature to govern, therefore their society can be nothing but between slaves of different sexes.

Delphic utterances, sank into a home for slugs.
But besides those who make good in our imagination the place of muses and of
