Query: 5. Music, Temperament, and Social Concord
Omitted Text
Quoted text:
For propagandistic history, an oligarch would assign personal motives to their enemies (and imply that the oligarch’s own motives are of course only objective and pure). Thus the opponents of Croton’s Pythagorean oligarchs were accused by Iamblichus of being resentful at having been rejected as students of Pythagoras, corrupted by whatever success they may have won.
[Omitted text: Iamblichus in Guthrie[1] 1987: p. 118: “When they captured Sybaris, and the land was not divided by lot, according to the desire of the multitude, this veiled hatred against the Pythagoreans burst forth, and the populace forsook them.”]
