Philosopher Theophrastus Roasts His Friends One by One (Theophrastus' Characters)

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Which character are you?

[@Smethells2023]

I find it interesting that none of these are particularly pleasant. They’re all negative for the most part. Some are just more negative than others.

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Yeah, I imagine him as a grumpy old man. Many descriptions are also very specific, and you get the impression everyone knew who he was talking about.

Thank You for keeping history alive.

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Thank you, too, brother!

[@kcpauz]

Another gem to lighten my day!

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Happy to hear, brother!

[@AlexanderosD]

Ha, man people really don't change over all the centuries! These characterizations are so specific, you kniw Theophrastus was fuming over certain folks he had in mind while writing this one.

[@TheLegendaryLore]

I wonder if he was just as positive in real life 😄

[@ThirtytwoJ]

Like i need more reasons to avoid people..

Alternate title: Theophrastus roasts his friends one by one, by turning them into universal stereotypes to be ridiculed for centuries to come. I can just imagine that one day they laughed at him, and he was like, "Oh yeah, go ahead and laugh for a day and take your pleasure. But I'll see to it that people ridicule all of you for centuries to come!"

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Haha, that's actually a great title! I will change that now! Thanks for the laugh 😄

[@0StarGirl5000]

@@TheLegendaryLore Oh wow, you actually changed the title. That's awesome. I thought maybe there was a chance you would read and reply to the comment, but never thought you'd actually implement the suggestion. Btw keep up the great work. I love history and it's great to see content creators like you bring original sources to wider audiences. Thank you!

​@@0StarGirl5000 It's hard coming up with titles that are catchy without resorting to clickbait. So when a great idea like this comes up, I seize it wholeheartedly :)

[@kevincruz7958]

I see myself in some of these and it's a bit disturbing.

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Haha, we all have our flaws 😄

[@edgedg]

In the eyes of Theophrastus, we're all failures, and nothing happy in life exists.

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Everyone but him 😄

You made an error. It should be called 2400 years ago in the introduction. You wrote 3400 years ago

[@TheLegendaryLore]

Thanks for the heads up, brother! I've corrected the error.
