Diogenes for the Day, 8/23/2018


But some say that when dying, he left instructions that they should throw him out unburied, that every wild beast might feed on him, or thrust him into a ditch and sprinkle a little dust over him. 

But according to others, his instructions were that they should throw him into the Ilissus River, in order that he might be useful to his brethren.
