fuckyeahhistorycrushes: SOCRATES, STOP DRAGGING ALCHIBADES AWAY FROM “THE EMBRACE OF SENSUAL PLEASURE”! (Man, I love eighteenth century painting titles.) Anyways, if you guys haven’t heard of Alchibades, you’ve kind of been missing out, cause he’s kind of a big deal. And also a bad ass, but we’ll get to that in a bit. He was one pretty hardcore military advisor. So hardcore that he would also get some pretty powerful enemies . So unfavorable were these enemies that Alcibiades would have to shift over to different states. And then what did he do? Just continued offering military strategies to whichever state he was in like a boss. Hah! So, this man was really his own man. And had beautiful curly locks to boot!
