wrong. socrates was the writer of the dialogues and comedies, he invented plato and xenophon as pen names and included himself as a character

NOT LITERATURE

Try mewing

Apologia is a true primary source, Plato and Xenophon may have recorded it but it's attested to by other contemporaries. Socrates was certainly adapted into a Platonic character to some extent but I don't think that to what extent and in what way is ever not going to be a subject of debate. That he existed and was tried for what is recorded in the Apology is not up for debate

>writers who hate each other would invent a character whose characteristics in their works are the same, where multiple people were present in both of their works and bothered to write an apology for a fictional person

I know this is b8, but there are actually people that believe this

There is a partial truth there. As Butterfly and others have mentioned, Socrates did indeed exist. He just wasn't the exact philosopher as described by Plato. But you can compare and contrast Plato's dialogues with Socrates and Laws, the Plato dialogue without him. There is a remarkable difference in tone and overall message. The two forms of socialism described in The Republic and Laws are extremely different as well. Private property being held in common simply in the Republic, and in the Laws these sorts of things were explained through legal requirements. The difference is in the details, because in Laws, although property was assigned to different social castes indiscriminately, the people could still eat fruit off of other's property and were assigned houses by the state frequently.

Now stop walking into the fucking bookstore with no shirt on and ordering books like you're at some kind of fast food restaurant you fucking dumbass :3

Love Fury but posting Ruiz would have been more to the point as he is a literally fatty that completely disassembled an Adonis-bodied chad

Xenophon was a midwit of his time. He'd be too dumb to make something like socrates up.

Is there any good lit about boxing?

vit K.

Not that I know of. Bukowski writes about going to fights but I don't know that I would call that good or about boxing. Stripped of all the exoteric elements of corruption, venality, hype boxing is absolutely the most beautiful, brutal and sacred of all sports. Two men confined to a space with only their wits and muscles as weapons, challenged with out-clobbering one another against all instinct for self preservation or safety, risking being lain low for all the world to see for some small taste of a fleeting and eternal glory.

that's retarded

gaius certainly existed and wrote books

t. not chad

Imagine being an Adonis-bodied chad and being on the losing end of the upset of the century at the hands of that pudgy fuck.

chad was high or something, fat dude had hands

Eh, it's not as bad as the "Paul ruined Christianity" meme.

thanks big guy

Do you mean that Ruiz hits hard, or that literally anyone who has hands could have beaten Joshua that night?
