Here's a little snippet from a book called "Many-Minded Homer" by 
W.F.Jackson Knight... some of the book seems a little stuffy, but on the 
whole, I am finding it to be quite a pleasurable read.

He's talking about the many sorts of myth, legend, and history which end up 
in Homer.... and breaks out with:
-'The oldest things last the longest', and what is wholly new is wholly mad. 
You can put old content into a new form or new content into an old form; but 
if you put old content into an old form, that is death, and if you put new 
content into a new form, that is madness.-
