The man who taught Philaretos the scroll trade — and taught his father before him. Broad, slow, generous, with a craftsman's ruined eyes. Euander has watched religion change in Ephesus before and adjusted without bitterness, and he makes the case any reasonable man of his world would make: there are two kinds of power, they have always coexisted, and no one need wreck his own livelihood over a new teacher's argument. It is not a stupid case.
