This week I’m focussing on Diogenes of Sinope, one of the first cynics known in history.

Although no writings survived — stories have: one of these is that when Alexander the Great saw the man going through a pile of (human) bones, Diogenes explained to Alexander what he was doing:

I’m searching for the bones of your father — but I cannot distinguish them from those of a slave.
