The impression exists that the great Greek philosophers were a bunch of balding, tubby old men sitting around bullshitting while drinking wine 🍷, when this couldn’t be further from the truth.‼️
Socrates was famously short and ugly, but he was also a fucking muscle-bound war hero who charged headlong into the enemy during the Peloponnesian War to rescue some captured officers.🎖️ Plato wrestled competitively, his wrestling coach giving him the name Plato which literally means ‘broad shouldered’. 🤼♂️ Some historians think Aristotle may have been a keen pentathlete in his youth given his passion and admiration of the sport. 🏃
The ancient Greeks were the first to see the potential of the Gods in their own flesh, 💫 where everyone could be a hero, where fate was not bound by the past. They truly were the first superheroes 🦸and drew amazement and fear from the rest of antiquity. 😲 History will always remember the 300 Spartans legends, led by the immortal King Leonidis 😎, and reinforced by only a few thousand-armed farmers and workers, who held back a Persian army of between 200,000-300,000 troops led by the hugely powerful Xerxes the Great, King of Kings. ⚔️ It is no exaggeration to say we owe the existence of our free world to these superheroes 🌍, who fell in the end from betrayal, but giving the rest of Greece precious time to prepare and meet Xerxes on both land and sea to defeat a near invincible foe. 👊
Of all the amazing wisdom Socrates has to bestow, take away what I believe to be one of his most important, ⭐
“…it is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” 🤤
