Chimero.

He was up there with the likes of Perseus.

And one of the things that Bellerophon is most famous for is slaying the Chimera.

And the chimera was a kind of a hybrid beast with the head of a lion and the body of a goat and a serpent's tail.

And it breathed fire and it was a nightmarish apparition.

Um, Ameryn, I've been bitten by dogs, assaulted by explosives, shot at with arrows, shot at with crossbow bolts, fired at with varieties of magic.

I've had to hold off a, what was it? Was it a chimera? What was that thing?

It's exhaustion and a lack of... confidence and it's a reminder that that is why ultimately nothing lasts forever not the Egyptians not the Greeks not the Persians not the Romans not the British Empire and these things go over the hill into history not because they get defeated by outsiders they fall apart from within because people stop believing and in the moment that people stop believing that a country exists it's gone Paganism and Christianity colliding.

This is by no means admissible, since anything that man does is not necessarily the man himself." Seneca does go on here to talk about virtues, emotions, vices, and all of these things as being living beings, but again, it comes back to this question of are they many countless things sojourning in this one soul? And he says no is the answer because they are all attached to the one, being parts and members of a single whole.

And then he brings up the Chimera, the being with multiple heads.

Is it multiple different things? The interesting stuff for us comes slightly later here when he says this: "Every living thing exists as it began until death.

A man, until he dies, is a man.
