http://artandpopularculture.com/Socrates%27s_physical_appearance

All sources agree that Socrates was an ugly man. At the beginning of the Theaetetus Plato remarks that he had a "snub nose and projecting eyes." Alcibiades' description of Socrates in the Symposium: "he is likest to the Silenus-figures that sit in the statuaries' shops; those, I mean, which our craftsmen make with pipes or flutes in their hands: when their two halves are pulled open, they are found to contain images of gods. And I further suggest that he resembles the satyr Marsyas." As described in Socrates and Athenian Society in His Day: "the remarkable ugliness which Socrates himself describes in Xenophon's version of the Banquet (and which certainly appears in the portrait transmitted to our time)."


Historically accurate recreation of what Socrates looked like

I hear that guy could be pretty cynical.

That's probably why he's my favorite philosopher of all time. Sometimes I think GG Allin was a reincarnation of him

the Man in the meme picture isn't Socrates, it's Plato...

Plato was a solider for Athens
he wasn't just a Philosopher but also a warrior with a warrior's physique

his literal nickname "plato" means he's fucking jacked and i quote
It was claimed that Plato's real name was Aristocles, and that 'Plato' was a nickname (roughly 'the broad') derived either from the width of his shoulders, the results of training for wrestling, or from the breadth of his style, or from the size of his forehead.

I bet myself I will find the harpy Helena disagreeing here. Your misandry is too obvious and predictable

Reacting in a predictable fashion, yet again

Yeah why does this trigger you? What makes you feel this is misandrist? Stop being a faggot.

Predictable harpy is predictable
