Ok I understand the uncertainty about the omission, but there may be some unifying reconstruction to account for all these observations. Oh well I'll mull it over some more. Thanks for the nice comments.

BTW why is Leolaia shunning us?

Leolaia
Ezekiel the Tragedian's play on Moses and the Exodus is a good example of Hellenistic drama which was written as such. There are some nice examples in it of narrative elements composed as dialogue (such as the plagues being reported verbally in a monologue).

I was gone from the board for a week, having been on a trip to NYC.

I've been SHARING the computer tonight, anyway the avatar is Tom Waits but I thought it symbolized my desire to learn..... eager to hear something new.

how was the trip, buisness or pleasure?

Leolaia
Ah, Tom Waits, first glance I thought it was Dave Gahan... I like the metaphor, reminiscent of the Jesuine saying, "Let he with ears hear..."
The trip was good. I was getting over a cold but I got to see and do quite a bit (plays, art shows, etc.). The Armory Art Show was utterly spectacular.
