@jroberts332 Thanks for explaining! The coincidence is striking, and the Hippocratic oath angle adds so much. Thinking about it now, Pharma feels like a tainted martyr — breaking the oath to fulfill its spirit. These parallels are giving me a new, strangely fond view of him.
Hey James, reading Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du mal I saw Delphine and Hippolyte, and it instantly reminded me of Tarn and Pharma. The overlap feels almost too neat—Delphine even carries “Delphi.” Was that coincidence or a reference?
