Socrates's Treasure
I love the fact that for thousands of years books had to be meticulously hand copied, so monks had to carefully replicate how Socrates didn't mind if his loverboys had beards, like it was some important piece of philosophy.
The platonic dialogue Protagoras starts with a brief discussion of which young man in Athens is the fairest, and whether or not they look best with a beard. All of this is very strange and pointless, since it's just a setup for Socrates to obnoxiously say "but actually, isn't WISDOM even fairer??" as an introduction to Protagoras being in town.
