I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Hannibal Barca, Alexander the Great, Genghis Kahn, and Bai Qi discussed war and empire building.

    I like the way you're thinking, but IMO Socrates would be an absolute nightnare. Maybe swap in Euclid?

    nah, go full bore and choose Diogenes

    EDIT : Great, now I want the trolliest combinations. Surely a pair would be Newton, Diogenes, but who would compliment these two to exasperate the shitstorm further?

    EDIT 2 : I guess one would be "choose a sex positive feminist"
