Plato’s Symposium had a guy that was really thirsty for Socrates’s loving, but Socrates was portrayed as badass and manly because he was super ambivalent. IIRC they ended up in bed at the end of the night, after a debate on the meaning of love.

now that i think about it, you do post a lot like a deeply closeted passive bottom

I find it interesting that you appear to be intimately familiar with the specific posting style in question.

You are referring to Alcibiades, who was a central figure in Greece during Socrates's time (and a pivotal figure in the Peloponnesian War). Alcibiades was reputed to be astonishingly good looking. There is an almost surely apocryphal story about how soldiers came to arrest Alcibiades and he dissuaded them by disrobing.

Are there any artist renditions of this Alcibiades? Asking for a friend…

I guess that vocabulary isn't associated with intelligence.

Can confirm that if you try that these days, you just catch an extra charge.

哎呀肏你大爷

要不然我们考虑认识多少字母的话我肯定是第一名

Virtually all ancient Greek painting has been lost to history, so there is nothing from his time.

But if you want later renditions, you have plenty to choose from. Here you go:

does not look promising i'm afraid

What does this prove? We've already established the vocabulary isn't associated with intelligence. The language doesn't matter.

Is the old dude trying to find the young dude's dick with a magnifying glass?

You might want to paste that into google translate lol.

In Greek times, the smaller the dick, the better.

A flaccid dick was a sign of control and self-restraint while the big ones were a often a sign of tension and the need for control. Its the reason why most sculptures and drawings show a member on the smaller end while enemies or creatures that of half man half animal displayed a large ferocious erect dick.

You shrink spun you that, huh?

but yeah that's a major pet peeve of mine is that we have all these people who insist that we know exactly what alexander the great looked like because of this



and there's legit reason to be skeptical of basically everything we have of him because the earliest we have of anything is several centuries after the fact - the only contemporary thing says "king of kings" not alexander where we're just like "duh that's him ldo"

and the archaelogical evidence is scant, not one of the battle sites has been found despite exhaustive searching and most of the cities he founded can't be found and those which can be found have ruins predating his era


again, not saying he's not real in the slightest, just that we know dogshit all about him and the sources we rely upon insert dionysus and hercules in as real historical characters - for all we know he's an amalgamation of various greeks who briefly conquered asia

Oh no… Alcibiades was blond? That’s a shame

No want, ty anyway
