Do you know your philosophers, Bruce?

I've been working on some eggheads to accompany the BUA or baggage for Hellenistic armies; it's no secret that the Greek world liked to have a few chaps around to make one's head reel with crazy ideas about life, the universe, and everything.
Watch this space. In an hour or so, I shall post pictures of the figures, and invite people to recognise the originals. The clues are pretty heavy-handed.

[FierceKitty]

The first of these has been posted before.

Ignore the slaves and the research assistant.

OK, identify them. The winner will be allowed three posts calling for Mexicans.

Archemedes
Pythagoras
Erathosthanes
Diogenes

Last two, no clue

Clues: You can't cross the same river twice.
          The greatest good in life is pleasure (ataraxia, to be exact).
          And Thales was said to have fallen in de water while looking at the stars and walking.

(You've got the other three right. Was it the triangle or the beanfield that identified Pythagoras?)

Heraclates

Yep. And the other is Epicurus.

It was the triangle, but the barrel needs Alexander the Great blocking his sunshine!

I'm cheating a bit - it's baggage for a Seleucid army. Must be a Cynical groupie.
