been reading about the life of democritus and i'm really enjoying a little snippet from athenodorus where athenodorus demonstrates democritus's remarkable observational skills by noting that a maiden he met one day had CLEARLY gotten some good dick the next time he saw her

#tagamemnon #democritus #also hilarious to me that plato hated democritus so much that he wanted to burn all his books #and was only stopped when people were like dude everyone knows his shit. what are you gonna do about it #queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra
