More puffed-up and tangled than Typhon? You betcha, Soh-krates!

The good news: I think I just wrote my conclusion, which is mostly that even the people arguing against finding some kind of thematic unity in the Phaedrus end up trying to explain the disunity in some way, both of which count as Trying To Make Sense Of The Damn Thing. This is kind of obvious, because the whole point of scholarship is to Make Sense Of Things. But still. I feel rather good about that, because I'm pretty sure no-one can refute it.

The bad news: I still have to write down everything that comes between my brilliant conclusion and Asmis's definition of the problem of unity (Hint: that's the first thing on my hand-out), and figure out what exactly these disunity proponents are trying to say the explanation is. This is what comes of attempting to actually give a thought-out presentation, I suppose. *sigh*

The just plain odd news: the Phaedrus character in my head always says "Soh-krates" (wie Bill & Ted). Party on, dudes; I'm going back to ancient standards of narrative structure now.

ETA: It only counts as an all-nighter if I go to bed after I'd normally get up. We shall see.

And for some reason, LJ automatically switched over to Japanese. Argh. No.

Well... actually, I know where the toga parties are. ;) I just don't know of any that I'd care to go to.

It's not a story per se, but if you look at the entries from the end of July or so, I'm pretty sure you'll find some things of interest. ;D If you haven't already.
