Question

At one symposium, a philosopher from this school of thought was attacked with lines from The Bacchae by their frequent correspondent Theodorus the Atheist. Another philosopher from this school imagined a city named for the pera knapsacks its members carried and surrounded by tuphos smog. The married couple of (15[1])Hipparchia of Maroneia (15[3])and (*) Crates of (-5[1])Thebes (10[1])both belonged to this school, which espoused a (10[1])candid form of speech called (10[2]-5[3])parrhesia. A student of (-5[1])Antisthenes belonging to this school of (10[1])thought held a lantern during the (10[2]-5[1])day while (10[1])wandering through (10[1])Athens to look (10[1])for (10[1])“an honest man” and once told Alexander the (10[2])Great to get out of his (-5[1])sun. For 10 points, name this school of thought espoused by Diogenes that lends its name to a distrustful attitude. (10[6]0[1])■END■
