Megasthenes’ Description of India 5 Introducing Megasthenes List of Illustrations xi Preface and Acknowledgements xv Abbreviations and Conventions xvii Prologue: The Moon at Noon His life story, today so ordinary, Will, in those days, seem charged with poetry. His joys and sorrows, attachments and loves, His neighbours, his own household, His fields, cattle, methods of farming: all They would take in greedily and still it wouldn’t be enough. If after a hundred centuries somehow – By some magic –from the past’s kingdom of death This peasant could be resurrected, again made flesh, With this stick under his arm and surprise in his eyes, Then would crowds besiege him on all sides, Everyone snatching every word from his lips. ‘An Ordinary Person’ A stick under his arm, a pack on his head, At dusk a villager goes home along the river.
