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 Hipparchia of Maroneia and (*) Crates of Thebes both belonged to this school, which espoused a candid form of speech called (-5[1])parrhesia. A student of (-5[1])Antisthenes belonging to this school of (10[1])thought held a lantern during the (-5[1])day while wandering through (10[1])Athens to look for “an honest man” and once told Alexander the 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[3]0[1])■END■
