‘wikimedia-commons_Jean-Léon_Gérôme_-_Diogenes_-_Walters_37131’

Published 2016-01-06 at 512 × 376 in Here’s 200 things to keep me busy for the rest of this year

The Greek philosopher Diogenes (404-323 BC) is seated in his abode, the earthenware tub, in the Metroon, Athens, lighting the lamp in daylight with which he was to search for an honest man. His companions were dogs that also served as emblems of his "Cynic" (Greek: "kynikos," dog-like) philosophy, which emphasized an austere existence.
