Fun note: In the late 1st c., Plutarch wrote that the pagan oracles had stopped working and giving answers. Likewise, Jewish writings noted that 40 years b/f the destruction of the Temple , a red cloth stopped turning white at the high priest's prayers. What changed, I wonder?

“If a king wishes to seize control of a city, he first withholds water and food. Thus the enemy, at risk of starvation, submits to him. The same goes for sexual passions. If a man lives by fasting and hunger, the enemies that are in his soul lose their power.” St. John the Dwarf
