The Delphic precepts of Alexandria-in-Sogdia were copied & brought to the city by Clearchus who walked 3,000 miles from Delphi to the Oxus around 300-250 BC. Greeks in Afghanistan & Pakistan became Buddhists around 200 BC, 300 years before the religion arrived in China.

A man who decides to starve, despite the kindness of Bion and the stubbornness of Clearchus, is a coward. Play the fucking game bozo. Pleasure is worth pain, and if all else fails, you can always get lucky 🍀

Tyrannicide or tyrannomachia is the killing or assassination of a tyrant or unjust ruler, purportedly for the common good,'" and usually by one of the tyrant's subjects.!?! Tyrannicide was legally permitted and encouraged in Classical Greece, 131 Often, the term "tyrant" was a justification for political murders by rivals, but in some exceptional cases students of Platonic philosophy risked their lives against tyrants. The killing of Clearchus of Heraclea in 353 BC by a cohort led by his own court philosopher is an example of a tyrannicide. 4. A person who carries out a tyrannicide is also called a "tyrannicide". 5]

Huh? During grad school Trump published what is considered to be THE authoritative biography of Clearchus.
Seriously though, dude makes Aristagorus look like an absolute genius in comparison.
I’m so embarrassed to be an American.

Found a draft of an article I pitched and had accepted by History Today from 2018(!). The old editor strung me along for a long time and then ghosted me. So I forgot about it...until yesterday! So with some tweaking I have chucked it up on my newsletter.

"The point, I guess, is that nobody else will make our community what it should be. It is incumbent on any of us—me or you—to do things, even at potentially mortal risk, that make America the place that it is meant to be."
I’ve thought about Xenophon’s Anabasis quite a lot lately. When Clearchus—the original leader of the Greek expedition into Persia—is killed by the Persians, the remaining Greeks are initially left dispirited and leaderless in the wastes. It takes Xenophon and a handful of other Greek captains, realizing that nobody else was coming to their salvation, to spur them into rallying the Greek Army on their march homewards. Coming together, they managed to create a system of leadership—in a completely ad hoc manner—that propels the Greeks into motion in the march to the sea. The polity, to Xenophon, was the people. It wasn’t an abstract Greek Army, but it was the flesh and blood soldiers who struggled their way back to Greece who embodied what it meant to fulfill the highest virtues of civic life. The point, I guess, is that nobody else will make our community what it should be. It is incumbent on any of us—me or you—to do things, even at potentially mortal risk, that make America the place that it is meant to be.

[Description of a monstrous hag in "Thealma And Clearchus" by John Chalkhill (1600-1642)]:

"And on her Head a thrummy Cap she had.
Her knotty Locks like to Alecto's Snakes
Hang down about her shoulders, which she shakes
Into disorder; "
He ey'd her o're and o're, and still his eye Found some addition to deformity. An old decrepid Hag, she was grown white With frosty Age, and withered with Despight And self-consuming Hate; in Furrs yclad, And on her Head a thrummy Cap she had. Her knotty Locks, like to Alecto's Snakes Hang down about her shoulders, which she shakes Into disorder; on her furrow'd Brow One might perceive time had been long at plough. Her Eyes like Candle-snuffs by age sunk quite Into their Sockets, yet like Cats-eyes, bright And in the darkest night like fire they shin'd, The ever-open windows of her mind. Her swarthy cheeks Time, that all things consumes, Had hollowed flat unto her Toothless Gums. Her hairy Brows did meet above her Nose, That like an Eagles Beak so crooked grows, It well nigh kiss'd her Chin; thick bristled Hair Grew on her upper Lip, and here and there A rugged Wart with grisly Hairs behung, Her Breasts shrunk up, her Nails and Fingers long!
