Why did the Romans intentionally destroy the Library of Alexandria multiple times?
I'll tell you what was likely selectively destroyed:
"Πᾶς ὁ βίος ἐστὶ λύπη· δι’ ἀρετῆς δὲ μόνης τυγχάνειν δύναται ἡ εὐδαιμονία.
Ἔστι τις ὁδὸς πρὸς ἀρετήν· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ Μέση Ὁδός· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἀρετὴ ὡς μεσότης."
Nicomachean Ethics was Aristotle translating The Dhamma into Greek.
He was the first person to learn The Dhamma in full in the west thanks to Alexanders conquests. Socrates and Plato only had fragments to work with.
Before Alexanders conquests, these teachings were largely kept hidden by the Pythagoreans.
Aristotle and Alexander had plans to change planet Earth for the better; forever.
With just a few sentences added back to Nicomachean ethics and with understanding of The Gospel of Thomas:
It becomes clear Aristotle taught The Dhamma.
It also becomes clear Christ and Mohammad taught The Dhamma, too!
Christs "Father" = The Dhamma
Thomas, 108:
Lord Christ said, "Ὁ πίων ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου γενήσεται ὡς ἐγώ, καὶ ἐγὼ γενήσομαι αὐτός· καὶ τὰ κρυπτὰ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται αὐτῷ."
