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 (10[1]-5[2])parrhesia. A student of Antisthenes belonging to this school of thought held a lantern during the (10[1])day while wandering through Athens to look for “an honest man” and once told Alexander the 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[2])■END■
