Similarly Platos name means broad, which was because he was a wrestler and kept up his physique. It also spawned a joke I'm fond of.

Diogenes wanders into Platos academy and says "Broadly speaking-" To which Plato responds "Yes I was now shut up"

Is this the time Plato threw Diogenes off the top of Hell In A Cell and through the announcer’s table?
