A handwritten annotation to the letter, in the hand of Callimachus:His divine wisdom can kiss my common arse. We blind and hobble half of the world through such ignorance, and I will not have it. Women shall study at the Serapeum as they might be inclined. Let him execute me if he wishes, but I have...

Book content warnings:rapedrug addictionThis book was difficult to read. A friend recommended it to me, and, though I know why, the fact that she was my friend was the only reason I finished this book.
