David Nabhan

When Hannibal was on the run at the end he received asylum at the court of Antiochus III, who loved showing off his super-famous guest. He once assembled his courtiers, along with Hannibal, for a lecture by an old, doddering windbag, Phormio, on generalship, no less. After the LONG dissertation, and as the Carthaginian was stretching his legs and heading for the door, Antiochus asked his opinion. "In my life I've listened to many old fools; this one beats them all," was the reply.
