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

16516	The ship which Theseus took to Crete is now sent to Delos crowned with flowers [Plato]
	Full Idea: The day before the trial the prow of the ship that the Athenians send to Delos had been crowned with garlands. - Which ship is that? - It is the ship in which, the Athenians say, Theseus once sailed to Crete, taking the victims.
	From: Plato (Phaedo [c.382 BCE], 058a)
	A reaction: Not philosophical, but this is the Ship of Theseus whose subsequent identity, Plutarch tells us, became a matter of dispute.
