Were the Greeks more metaphorical than the English?

I think I loved M. Davidson's treatment of [this classic author] as being 'metaphorical'.
A bishop's bishop.
As when they say, derogatorily, that Grice was not a philosopher, but a philosopher's philosopher (M. Platts -- the sad side to this is that he doesn't think he is being funny, M. Platts doesn't)
I too thought of the phrase as meaning 'bishop' _apud_ 'bishop', or even
_inter_ "bishops", sort of "inter pares", but if he was a high-flown one, it may
not be what he meant!
