@rawpoliticss: Diogenes of Sinope was an ancient Greek philosopher and one of the most famous Cynics. He believed that people should live simply and according to nature, without being controlled by wealth, status, or social expectations. Diogenes rejected material possessions and lived in extreme poverty, famously making his home in a large ceramic jar. He was known for his sharp wit, honesty, and provocative behavior. According to legend, when Alexander the Great offered to grant him any wish, Diogenes simply asked him to move out of his sunlight. His philosophy emphasized freedom, self-sufficiency, and independence from society’s artificial desires and conventions. #alexanderthegreat #diogenesofsinope #diogen #idol #fypシ

and Alexander said "if I wasn't Alexander I'd like to be Diogenes" to which Diogenes responded "if I was Alexander the Great I would also rather be Diogenes"

Diogenes always impressed me when I start studying philosophy. Alexander, not so much.

Falambr0 :

i love the fact that a homeless philosopher was an idol for one of the world's greatest generals/kings (sorry my memory is a bit faded but I believe he was a king right?)

Talking History With Dom :

Well him and Achilles. Alexander was obsessed with Achilles, so much so before fighting Persia he went two days out of his way before uniting his force in modern day turkey to go to a temple dedicated to Achilles to make an offering and took his armor to wear in battle

kayn☆ :

idk if this story is true, but it's said that when Alexander had the chance to meet him he was like "is there anything i can do for you? name it and you'll have it" and the DIVA diogenes was just said "can you move? you're blocking my light" and i think that's hilarious

johnny :

Probably went like this😂 -> Alexander: „Who are you compared to me? For I, Alexander, have conquered the whole East, striving to be even greater!“ Diogenes: „Every man fights for what he lacks.🗿“
