Mary Read— a badass female pirate.

In a nutshell;

Mother dressed Mary as her dead brother for financial reasons where then Mary worked for money. Then later on she eventually joined the British navy (still disguised as a man). A ship she was on was taken by pirates where she willingly joined (yet again, still dressed as a man).

It gets rowdy from here— there was another pirate (Anne Bonny) who revealed to Mary that she was a woman (because she found Mary attractive) but then Mary revealed that she too, was a woman. Then these two badass ladies become some of the most infamous pirates.

Fast forward, both Anne and Mary were arrested and were on trial to hang when they both said they were pregnant, which meant that they’re hanging is delayed. Unfortunately Mary died in prison from an illness, it’s assumed that Mary died before the child was born.

Musashi. At the end of the feudal era in Japan but before imperialism took over, many a samurai found themselves with a sword and the accompanying skillset but no master to serve. It was the time of the wandering swordsman.

Of all these swordsmen, Musashi was the best. Over time his legend grew and with it came any and every would-be upstart looking to take that title from him. None could match his skill though.

However, there did arise one known as Kojiro who had begun to make his own name for himself. It was said that Kojiro could swing his blade so quickly that the eye couldn't see it move.

Word spread quickly that Kojiro wanted to face Musashi and prove himself the better swordsman. Musashi agreed and the fight was to take place along the bank of a large river.

The day of the fight came and Kojiro, along with a large group of onlookers, showed up at the agreed-upon location. Musashi arrived on the opposite bank with nothing but a small knife. He paid a ferryman to take him across the wide belt of the river and grabbed a spare oar.

Musashi used the knife to whittle the side of the oar into a sharper edge as he was taken to the crowd awaiting him.

As soon as he saw Musashi with the oar in hand, he laughed and began to mock someone he saw as an old feeble-minded man. The crowd joined in, but Musashi remained unfazed.

Soon the fight was started and Kojiro began swinging his sword around in a graceful display of his prowess. Musashi stood there, waiting patiently. Kojiro finally moved to strike, but Musashi was quicker and snapped the oar out. It caught Kojiro in the temple, killing him instantly. Without a word to the stunned crowd, he dropped his makeshift weapon and took the ferry back across the river and into legend.

Diogenes- a homeless Greek philosoper who lived in a barrel and m*sturbated in public:

He also had an epic encounter with Alexander the Great:

while Diogenes was relaxing in the sunlight in the morning, Alexander, thrilled to meet the famous philosopher, asked if there was any favour he might do for him. Diogenes replied, "Yes, stand out of my sunlight". Alexander then declared, "If I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be Diogenes", to which Diogenes replied, "If I were not Diogenes, I should also wish to be Diogenes.

In another account of the conversation, Alexander found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave."
