Diogenes? (c.412-323 BC) Born in Turkey, Diogenes studied in Athens, he was eccentric, sometimes called the founder of the Athenian Cynic school he became an ascet, eating plainly, dressed in shredded clothes, and sleeping in the streets. Diogenes often visited a famous prostitute named Lais and is purported to have said ", the difference between what costs money and what does not cost anything one can see at the nearest brothel".
