The missing masterpieces

Kelly tells good stories, but many of them are just that: just stories. Confucius(traditionally 551-479 BCE) never wrote anything, as far as we know. All that is connected to his name either is written or collected by his followers, usually centuries after his death, or has no connection whatsoever with him. The works of Aeschylus(525-456 BCE) were hardly the sole property of the Ptolemaic dynasty, nor were they destroyed in 640. The whole thing about the burning of the library then is a fable. In reality, it´s existence after the middle part of the 1st century BCE is not certain. It could have been destroyed then, as Caesar(102/100-44 BCE) invaded Egypt, or it could have been destroyed in 272 CE as Romans fought the Palmyran troops in Alexandria, or in 391 CE in the hands of a Christian mob etc etc. And of course, the poet Homer didn´t exist.
