Full Idea
In discussing Priam, Aristotle, I take it, would allow that the virtuous person's life can be marred, but not, I think, ruined.
Clarification
Priam lost his city to the Greeks through a blunder
Gist of Idea
Aristotle must hold that virtuous King Priam's life can be marred, but not ruined

A Reaction
This seems right. At first it seems that Aristotle is saying that Priam's eudaimonia was utterly lost, but elsewhere he implies that this is impossible if the disaster is external to his character.
