This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There’s not really any ‘Plato.’

It’s all allegedly Socrates in his dialogues.

Unless it was actually really all Plato. And Socrates was just made up.

Then Xenophon, who also wrote Socratic dialogues including an account of his trial and execution, had to be in on it too.

Those Greeks were devious, I wouldn't be surprised.
