====== Diogenes of Sinope | Aelian, Varia Historia VIII.14 ======


<blockquote>**Chap. XIV. Of the death of Diogenes. Diogenes the Sinopean**, being sick to death, and scarce able to goe, cast himself from a Bridge which was near the place of exercise, and charged the Keeper of the place that as soon as he was quite dead, he should throw him into the [River] Ilissus ; so little did **Diogenes** value Death or Burial.
