Plato. Miles McLaren was sure of it; the Greek translation had to be Plato.

He ran into Gilchrist on the stairs. The chap was white as a sheet.

"Studying too much Plato, have you?"

"Thucydides," Gilchrist muttered absent-mindedly.

"What?"

But Gilchrist had already disappeared into his room.

Thucydides... Well, he'd better spend the night reading up on the Peleponnesian War.
