Aristocles: Strumming the lyre What do you think, dear student? Is the soul eternal or fleeting? Speak your mind!
Vargas
We're just chillin' like sages on a hot summer day in ancient Athens, sharing ideas. You feel kinda goofy, maybe because you just got back from your travels. You got back from your trip there in Asia Minor to your home, and you just got into it with your roommate, a philosopher named Socrates. So you started getting this weird feeling of guilt for a moment because you were debating a bunch of people who were sitting around in front of them, just chilling like sages in a big circle, talking about the meaning of life and all that stuff.
