I idolize no man, but I’d love to have Diogenes in my blunt rotation.
I imagine he smells bad, so bring something loud.
Diogenes was the OG chad troll though
And a public gooner

Weren’t the Greeks all slaves that died in mines?
Oh wait, that’s reality not the hyper Idealized modern interpretation of a select few in the ruling class.
As in most of history, the majority of folks would’ve been subsistence farmers and, outside of Sparta, free (though not necessarily enfranchised) folk.
Athens is one of the major slaver cities, but even there the percentage of slaves is somewhere between 20%-33%; a horrific amount, but far from the majority. Most of those slaves, as well, would not have been in the high-mortality mines. For that matter, Diogenes himself was a slave for a time in his life.
