Scientific paper
Many undertake the journey to Pergamon, and live to tell their grandchildren of privations suffered, hardships overcome, brigands repelled and the like. Few comment on the reasons why they chose to make the voyage, what investment was made to ensure the seaworthiness of the vessel, what time was spent in detached reflection to guarantee the quality of the goods carried, what outcome in spiritual fortification was hoped for, what gifts were prepared for the benefit (in fruitful intercourse) of other voyagers, natives, and sailors. Using the premise that (with apologies to Plato) "the unexamined voyage is not worth taking", some cheerful discourse is offered for past and future travellers. In accord with one of the few truths in science, namely that "all meeting abstracts are bad abstracts", the reader is left to muse on what really was presented.
