Anecdotes Of The Cynics by Robert F. Dobbin
A lively collection of ancient chreiai and sayings that distills the spirit of Greek Cynicism through vivid vignettes of its most provocative figures, showcasing their biting wit, shameless challenges to convention, and commitment to self-sufficiency, frank speech, and living in accord with nature. Organized thematically and supported by notes, it situates these episodes within their historical context, illuminating the movement’s ethics, satire of wealth and power, and enduring influence on later thought.
