How many twink lovers did Socrates have
>>216033492No idea, but I know he fucked the prettiest guy in all of Athens, Alcibiades
Splendid, young Thorvalos! Please enlighten me and others, for we really suffer from want of wise young men in this city, what is this quality of justice that you speak of? And don't enumerate examples but provide a general rule by which a just act or a just man may be recognized in the same manner as geometers who use a common measuring rod to tell the length of a building or a distance between two points.
>>216033454I need to know if the scythian stacys raped young greek lads and kept them in their harems
>>216033627Justice is giving each person what is due to them, sir. I did not read Plato though, it was just a history test>>216033672I don't know, I do know that Taurians that were the native inhabitants of Crimea beheaded lots greek colonists and later the Scytians assimilated the Taurians“The Taurians sacrifice to the Virgin goddess; they strike down any Greek they take and cut off his head, fixing it on a pole. The body they either bury or cast over a cliff.”
>>216033454What do you know about Greek deities before the steppe invasion? Have you heard of Linear B tablets?
>>216033874Based, you should read Play-doh in your free time thoughever, by the time you've finished you'll know why it was considered basic reading for an educated person until the Jews won WW2 o algo
>>216033454Did you know that Ancient Greek religion and philosophy were taught to them by the Indians after Alexander made contact? Very interesting.
>>216034049It wasn't that kind of test, it was more antic greeks test (from the first Persian war to the Pelopponesian war)I do know that ancient greeks considered other people's gods just manifestation of their own gods, for example Herodotus recognized Thracian gods as a manifestation of Hermes, Artemis and Dionysis. He also believed that Scytians worshiped a manifestation of Ares.>>216034114That is simply not true, sir.
>>216034246Nice thank you.
>>216034246It is true, sir.Plato's philosophy of intellect was first discovered by Uddalaka Aruni, and many of Plato's mathematical treatises were first developed in India as well. Before contact with India, the Ancient Greeks knew nothing of philosophy and would poke each other with sticks.
>>216034081I've read like on dialogue where he argues with Thrasymachus about the nature of justice, with Thrasymachus saying that justice is advantage of the strongest and Socrates doing an absolute DUNK on him, by making him concede and recognize that absolute power is neither wise not just by using Tyrants as an example (or something of that kind, it was a long time ago)>>216034341Do you have any proof, kind sir? For me it seems like you just wanting it to be that because it pleases you
Summarize the ideas of Plotinus in 30 words.

>>216033454Why weren't the Ptolemids hideously deformed and brain-damaged like the Habsburgs when they were far more incestuous than them
>>216033454Athena, Hestia or Artemis?
>>216034661not op but no, the last ptolemy cleoptra vii was fine, they didn't exclusively have brother-sister marriage, they married other diadochi royalty as well
>>216034490They were pretty swarthy, average height for a guy was like 170cm>>216034494Bro, can you do it without looking up? I do know who did it, it was Cleisthenes and they were named after ancient greek heroes>>216034512Bruh>>216034570Okay, it was my mistake, I should have said Classical Greeks>>216034586Christianity o algo >>216034661No idea, I think Habsburg inbreeding was more severe >>216034683Athena for the win

I tried reading Republic but it had too many big words and gave up
>>216033454Do you have any resources to common styles of architecture for domestic (non royalty) housing during 100ad to 25bc around ptolemaic controlled Egypt and specifically Alexandria? Especially the suspected greek-egyptian fusion architecture, but if not, that's okay.
