When reading The Ravages of Time, keep intertextuality in mind (and be reminded of how the text may also allude to more contemporary settings and events).
On the one hand, there are the classical treatises quoted and paraphrased and dissected. On the other hand, there are the tropes and elements of pop-culture thrown into the mix.
Additional textual layers are introduced as Ravages is translated into other languages, especially when it comes to finding appropriate translations for cited classical texts.
