Quotes by Theodore Vrettos (?)

“He had respect for money but did not worship it. His wife felt the same way. At state functions and formal dinners, she was often chided for not wearing the usual gold ornaments typical of wealthy women of the time. Her curt reply pleased Philo: 'The virtue of a husband is a sufficient ornament for his wife.”
― Theodore Vrettos, Alexandria: City of the Western Mind

“Alexander's own memoirs disclosed that above all else, Aristotle implanted a love of medicine in him. Not only was Alexander fond of discussing it but even prescribed for his friends when they were sick, ordering them to follow special courses of treatment and diet. Not surprisingly, he loved and admired Aristotle even more than he did his father. 'The latter,' he said, 'has taught me to live, but the former has taught me to live well.”
― Theodore Vrettos, Alexandria: City of the Western Mind
