We all have various historical figures of varying importance we've read about or wanted to meet. Who are some of the people of the past you've read about that have captivated you and you wish to meet?

In my case I've always wanted to meet Friedrich Nietzsche, Nero, and Heraclitus. George Washington would be interesting too, the real man and not the image on the dollar bill. Dostoevsky and Bakunin and John Locke, all of those intellects if they wouldnt mind meeting me. Who are some of the people you have to share?

It would be fun / interesting to share a flask of whisky with Poe.
Or maybe Baudelaire, if Poe was unavailable.

I like Scotch.
I'll drink Cognac, if the conversation is interesting enough, but nobody refuses a taste of good Scotch.

Buy Bukowski a bottle of booze and hope he doesn't piss on you.

Other than that... I'd like to meet Mannerheim, Orwell, Cavour, D'annunzio, Dylan Thomas... Shit, there are tons.

Many, many indeed. Jesus is the one who hasn't been mentioned yet.

I'd like to sit down with Jesus and try to lead him to the right way. Also gather Marx and Bakunin in a room and tell Marx to stop his bullshit immediately and listen to Bakunin.

Also Nietzsche and Ghandi.

:dio: I dig that. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would have conceded defeat in an argument, though.

Yeah I would love to meet Einstein.

Dunno about Alexander the Great though... I bet he could be a real douchebag at times.

Archimedes. Always wondered how it would have felt running naked on the streets shouting, "Eureka, eureka !".

Yeah? We were told about it in school and a rough look through wikipedia says about it too. Not saying what's in wikipedia is the ultimate truth. In that case, I would like to meet him to know if it's a myth. :wink:

In fact, if I recall even more, he never actually discovered the mass/volume thing in the bathtub.

That, of course, is what's great about history. Different interpretations. I was told about it in school as well, my "IIRC" comes from either a history book or a lecture by my current History teacher (who, having a PhD, I'm more inclined to trust than my middle school teacher).

Socrates, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Beethoven, David Foster Wallace (not really historical but he is dead) any other dudes that seem abnormally passionate about something I like.

Right, Beethoven. Fuck yeah. And going drinking with Mozart would probably also have been cool.
