Explanation: Alcibiades was an Athenian general and politician who was famous for his beauty and charm, and infamous for his vanity, short temper, debauchery, and lack of shame.

He was also one of the lovers of Socrates.

"One of the lovers" like in a sequence or at the same time? He seems like he wouldn't mind either way

You made me reread this three times, which I think was secretly your plan all along!

Well, it fits with the post title anyway. It's a feature, not a bug.

I read it all the way to the end without realizing and it still worked.
