Thanks for your reply.
I guess this brings up another question. If everyone knew that Peter was both Demosthenes and Locke, then after Peter died, why did people still respect whoever was writing as Demosthenes? Why did they let Demosthenes influence them, why did they listen?
I suppose the writing was that persuasive, that it didn't matter that the original author was dead. The ideas were still important.
