    I do think there's a few threads in General today that belong in LR - bet these get moved.

              How about

              Xenophon
              Socrates.......who?

              Or

              Xenophon
              Socrates? - Pah, he knows nothing!


              or is that the wrong Xenophon?

                Hmm wasn't Xenophon banished for supporting Socrates ?

                  Xenophon was later exiled from Athens, most likely because he fought under the Spartan king Agesilaus II against Athens at Coronea. However, there may have been contributory causes, such as his support for Socrates, as well as the fact that he had taken service with the Persians

                  Xenophon had a young eromenos [an adolescent boy who was in a love relationship with an adult man] whom he loved and of whom he said: "Now I look upon Clinias with more pleasure than upon all the other beautiful things which are to be seen among men; and I would rather be blind as to all the rest of the world, than as to Clinias. And I am annoyed even with night and with sleep, because then I do not see him; but I am very grateful to the sun and to daylight, because they show Clinias to me."

                    Yeah - but I thought 'Socrates - He's great' wouldn't be that good.
