Oh I'm familiar with Diogenes. He also fucked dogs if you didn't know.

That exchange with Plato wasn't something that really occured, by the way. It was a scene from a satire, pretty sure written by Aristophanes.

that's such a Diogenes thing to do 🤣

in fairness, he did teach the dog to walk upright and shaved it completely bare to meet the definition of a man.

of course it didn't really happen. it wasn't written down until 600 years later by Diogenes Laertius, and even by then the stories were more parables than historical events.
