  • plato: partied too hard
  • empedocles: jumped into a volcano to prove that he was immortal
  • philitas of cos: was such an incredible pedant that he wasted away while studying erroneous word usage
  • saint lawrence: roasted alive during christian persecution under valerian, joked that he was done on one side and needed to be flipped over
  • didius julianus: purchased the roman empire in an auction, ruled for 9 weeks, executed for being ineffective leader
