Ah but who is the source? Xenophon himself? See what the problem is?
καὶ τάχα δὴ ἀκούουσι βοώντων τῶν στρατιωτῶν θάλαττα θάλαττα καὶ παρεγγυώντων.
You know he was gay, Xenophon. That’s why he took all those guys on an Anabasis if you know what I’m saying.
His house looked like SHYTE..
That is Paulie Walnuts, not Noel Gallagher.
In this house we believe in Mirrors for Princes, an education for all companions, straight, gay, and in-between the men bsky.app/profile/joes...

I love how this is the most blatant episode that shows every character is a horrible person.
Thalassa? Ova heehr
I sneezed when I read this. To War!!!
WOAH THERE TONE, THE ONLY ATHENIANS WHO DESERGE THE TITLE HERO ARE ALKIBAIDES, ARISTEDES, AND THEMISTOCLES. AND YOU KNOW DAMM WELL WHY.
DEMOSTHENES ERASURE ALERT
WHY DOESN'T HE DEMOSTHENES DEEZ NUTZ? I KNOW HE PUT MARBLES IN HIS MOUTH SO HE SHOULD TRY USING DEEZ NUTZ INSTEAD.
Woah there Tone, he led ten thousand out of Persia, but he couldn't stick the landing even with them by his side? Say what you will about his brilliance, Xenopussy was a quitter, an' thats that.
Xenophon is to philosophy as Die Hard is to Christmas movies. (Laudatory)
No I see your vision on this one
This and "If Alcibiades had a helicopter, he would have put his name on it" are two tweets that live rent free in my head.
Still lives rent free in my head that VDH told me that Trump was our Alcibiades
"Alcibiades has desecrated Herms throughout the city. Here's why that's bad for Nicias."
I’d like to see Alcibiades wriggle his was out of this jam! Ah well,,, nevertheless
"Alcibiades, whom I do not support, was right to defect to Sparta."
>unjustly prosecuted for his alleged “crimes” >returns to Athens to restore democracy from an illegitimate regime that took power >immediately turns the war around and makes Athens Great Again until the Athenian deep state ousts him I…get it now…
"Look, I've always said this, everybody tells me, "Why didn’t you say it sooner?" but here it is: his words, he's got the best words. they’re like those little statues, the Silenus ones, you open them up, and wow. That's a statue that opens up."
Look - it's better than the usual go-to of the Gracchi. Every generation sees the Gracchi brothers in their politics and every generation will.
AOC and Kat Abughazaleh are our (latest) Tiberius and Gaius,
Man we haven’t had a good Gracchi since JFK-RFK original flavor
oh for fuck's sake
He meant this in a good way?
Trump is way more like Menon. I don't mean that Alcibiades was more moral than Trump. I just mean Alcibiades was a genius, while Trump is an imbecile.
Yeah tbf, Alcibiades also had that dog in him in a way Trump could only dream of
Sometimes I forget you're not actually David Lynch (RIP)
I don’t care I’m just voting for whoever gives me bread and circuses
Alexander of Macedon: That's right.
