    He was in exile in Athens, and did not have much money if any while in exile. I don’t remember him ever marrying, but he was definitely not rich when he lived in the jar.

      Was curious about this jar because I was imagining a glass jar lol. I looked it up and a few portrayals show him hanging with dogs too

        One of his nicknames was “the dog” which was supposed to be derogatory, but he took it as a compliment because he thought dogs basically had it figured out - they spend all their time socializing or napping, eat whatever they can scrounge up, and generally seem pretty chill with it all.
