Periander, n.Definitions

Periander (n.) did ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not become another man but two men who could not be contained in one — the wise man and the tyrant: that is to say, a monster.

Periander (n.) talked ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠like a wise man and acted like a maniac — and to accept the saying with passionate sympathy while it changes one not at all is to appropriate it quite à la Periander.
