i think hesperous is 'venus in the morning'
and phosperous is 'venus in the evening'
(hope i got them the right way around)
and venus... is the greater object. they are time slices of venus...what do you reckon?>>
hesperus is a name of Venus. 'hesperus is phosphorus' is true, but if hesperus meant 'time slice A of venus' and phosphorus meant 'time slice B of venus', 'hesperus is phosphorus' would be a contradiction.
i am staying up too late
