Packet 2: Bonus 1
After Dionysius the Renegade legendarily asked why a philosopher with this first name didn’t correct his mistakes, that philosopher replied, “Because I mistrust you.” For 10 points each:
[10e] Give this first name of that philosopher from Citium who founded Stoicism.
ANSWER: Zeno [accept Zeno of Citium]
[10h] Because his eye really hurt, Dionysius rejected Stoicism’s forbearance in the face of suffering and left to study at this city’s philosophical school. Aristippus founded that hedonistic philosophical school named for this city.
ANSWER: Cyrene [accept the Cyrenaics]
[10m] Dionysius created a fake one of these events to prank his other former teacher Heraclides Ponticus. A treatise concerning these events describes how they should induce an effect often translated as “purification” or “purgation.”
ANSWER: plays [accept theater or drama or verse drama; accept tragedy or tragedies; accept comedy or comedies; prompt on poetry or poetics by asking “what genre is being discussed?”] (That effect, catharsis, is outlined in Aristotle’s Poetics.)
