In Diogenes' Lantern the eccentric (and quite funny) Greek philosopher Diogenes, who lived in the 4th century B.C., wanders the ancient city of Corinth wearing only an old cloak and a barrel. Using a lantern in daytime, he proves the local philosophers wrong. Diogenes teaches even Alexander the Great an important lesson about wisdom and life!

For ages six and up.
