  The funny thing about Socrates is, that he was a Hoplite - a type of soldier carrying a huge spear and shield into battle. Apparently, he was fucking ripped, which explains why people didn't just punch him out when his philosophic inquiries were starting to get on their nerves. Basically, imagine you are just walking around, minding your business, and suddenly young Arnold Schwarzenegger blocks your path and starts aggressively questioning you about the nature of justice or some shit. That's what an encounter with Socrates was like, in a nutshell.

  For anyone interested: Nathaniel Hawthorne was an extremely able scholar of Latin and Greek. He wrote The Wonder Book for Boys and Girls and its sequel, Tanglewood Tales, as modern versions of classic myths for children. It was quite a task to create an original translation of ancient myths in the 1800's, and he was one of the first writers to adapt these myths specifically for children. The tales are uniquely accurate to the original myths because Hawthorne could read, speak, and compose in the original Latin and Greek. The books sold like hotcakes. They were akin to the Percy Jackson series if Riordan had the highest quality learning available to man and was a certifiable literary genius.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeACT6GHBh8&amp;t=1575">26:15</a> So Midas was specifically blessed by Dionysius. When Midas asked for the Gold Touch, Dionysius says &quot;That&apos;s a bad idea&quot;. Midas&apos; wasn&apos;t tricked, he was just a bit short-sighted. He wouldn&apos;t need &quot;Get out of jail&quot; clause, he&apos;d just need to stop asking for dumb things. He could have said &quot;Give me the power to turn whatever I choose into Gold&quot; and Dionysius would have given that. But Midas asked &quot;Everything I touched&quot; and ignored the warnings on how that was a really dumb thing to ask for.
