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 and (*) Crates of (-5[1])Thebes both belonged to this school, which espoused a candid form of speech called parrhesia. A student of Antisthenes belonging to this school of thought held a lantern during the day while wandering through Athens to look for (10[1])“an honest man” and once told Alexander the (10[1])Great to get out of his sun. For 10 points, name this school of thought espoused by Diogenes that lends its name to a distrustful attitude. (10[1])■END■
