Diogenes

Diogenes of Sinope was a one-of-a-kind philosopher character of Ancient Greece. After being exiled from Sinope for messing with coins, he fucked off and decided to be a bum who lived with nature and owned no materials (he threw away his one possession: a bowl, after seeing a kid cup and drink water with his hands); a philosophy (or lifestyle, perhaps) that became known as Cynicism.

He would sit in an empty barrel in the marketplace and beg (and also eat), and would 'protest' by doing the following:

- jacking off in public (his response when inquired about this being "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing my belly")
- pissing on people who slighted him
- defecating/shitting in the theatre

The following is stories of Diogenes and his savageness:

When Alexander the Great asked Diogenes if there was anything he could do for him, Diogenes responded with: "Yes, stand out of my sunlight.").

Plato once said the simplest definition of a human was a "featherless biped," and Diogenes responded to this by going to Plato's academy with a plucked chicken and saying: "Looky here! It's Plato's man! Motherfucker, now this, this is top physical condition!" before he smashed the chicken against the floor (that's not what he actually did, but you get the point; he pissed and shat all over Plato).
