I need to go to the aphrodisias museum to take proper pictures of the only actual bust of Alcibiades we have. His boob is out

Thinking about all the ways you could have a hypothetical actor in a hypothetical movie playing Alcibiades act in a way that's subtly animal-like. Looking around in a certain emotionless, observing way, slightly pulling his upper lip or wrinkling his nose or on reflex when he doesn't like something or is pissed off. Absent mindedly sniffing new things. Like he's buying new cups in the agora and as he's considering them he brings the one he's holding to his nose or something. Sleeping curled up when he's not feeling entirely safe. Climbing a little too comfortably and clearly preferring to perch atop a wall or steps or a rooftop if he's outdoors. Always sitting down on the ground when he's sitting somewhere with Socrates, even if Socrates is sitting on a bench or something. Food agression.

[kebriones]

How did Alcibiades escape the persian prison? Share your ideas.

Modern AU Alcibiades always stopping Socrates from walking right into traffic when he's too absorbed in thoughts/conversation to pay attention to his surroundings vs Modern AU Socrates stopping Alcibiades from walking right into traffic because he feels he's above traffic lights.

[kebriones]

I think the thing that upsets me a lot when people are analysing/discussing Alcibiades is when they don't seem to understand that a person can have within them very conflicting/contradictory aspects and wishes. They can have wildly different personality aspects and facets all active at once, and we see Alcibiades in the symposium very clearly struggling with having these contradictions inside him, and at least in that text, we don't see one clearly winning over the other. He cannot distance himself from Socrates and he cannot let go of his love for fame and power. At the same time he clearly appreciates and gets touched by philosophy but he cannot devote himself to it because there are also other things he appreciates and gets influenced by. We don't know if this conflict within him continued later in his life. I don't think it's safe to assume just by looking at his military career that he made some clear choice on the matter of Socrates or philosophy, he could've very well internally struggled his whole life, it's just that public life is more visible externally in the historical tecord than whatever internal philosophical developments one might have and we don't know what he had in terms of the later because we have no platonic texts about him after the symposium.
