9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 9. Ship of Theseus

1212	Replacing timbers on Theseus' ship was the classic illustration of the problem of growth and change [Plutarch]
	Full Idea: At intervals they removed old timbers from the preserved ship and replaced them with sound ones, so the ship became a classic illustration for the philosophers of the disputed question of growth and change, some saying it was the same, others different.
	From: Plutarch (Life of Theseus [c.85], 23)
