Why didn't Alexander just kill him right there?

Because the story was made up, stupid.

because he wasn't a dick

people don't just kill each other for random jokes

>>1866409
Because 1. Diogenes is so based Alexander even revered him and 2. It never happened, probably

>people don't just kill each other for random jokes

Alexander wiped out entire civilizations for lesser insults.

>>1866409
1. it probably never happened
2. he wasn't a raging psychopath edgelord
3. even if he was he would know killing him would just make him look like a petty butthurt faggot to absolutely everyone

>>1866409
would you kill him, OP?

>>1866437
you don't kill Athenians

even a single one is worth more than a non-Greek tribe

>Diogenes
>Athenian

>>1866437
What civilisations did he wipe out over a joke?

>>1867254
Diogenes of Sinope

>Must be an Athenian

>>1867254
I'm pretty sure he wasn't an Athenian..

Because murdering free-people in a subjugated city will make you look like a tyrant, and would be paraded around as an excuse to revolt from you.

Alexander wasn't even pissed off when the Athenians voted no to execute Demosthenes after he ordered them to do-so because he roused Thebes to revolt against him, as he realized that being more tolerate would open more doors for him with other Greek cities.

Plus, he admired Diogenes (or so it was said).

because the thing did not end there

yeah but it could have.
