Identify both.Answer: The event depicts the meeting of Alexander the great with Diogenes of Sinope, a philosopher who made a virtue out of extreme poverty. He lived his life in a tub (seen behind him in the painting) and denounced all worldly possessions. Alexander, having heard a lot about Diogenes met with him and asked if there was any favor he might do to him. Diogenes famously replied "Stand a little less between me and the sun". Kaushik, Amresh, Ameya, anon, Krithi, Ajinkya and Rahul got it. Well done.
