I give thanks to Zeus ὅσις ποτ' ἐσὶν, that being an American, I have escaped the British public school.If Pound had been educated in a British public school, perhaps he would not have mangled the quotation from Aeschylus, Agamemnon 160, so badly:
Ζεύς, ὅστις ποτ᾽ ἐστίν...He probably misread the stigma ligature (sigma plus tau) in an old edition.
