FierceKitty:
I improvised a number of philosophers for my Hellenic armies. They were quite fun to put together, and are a good way of checking if a new player was listening during the days of his or her education.

I've subsequently added Plato, with a slave behind him holding up a wooden cutout showing a deformed rabbit, and a burning torch behind the slave to cast a shadow. Haven't got around to taking a photograph of that one.

Unfortunatelly the photos dont seem to appear. But the description is very promising.
You could do Socrates too. In two versions, one as heroic hoplite carrying the wounded Alcibiades, and one posed as a philosopher with his nagging wife Xanthippe close by, shouting at him  ;D

FierceKitty:
I have considered doing Socrates stretched out with an empty cup beside him. The ones I've got are Herakleitos checking up to his waist if you can cross the same river twice, Thales falling in, Archimedes shouting eureka! with a talk-bubble, Pythagoras holding a scroll with a triangle on it as he refuses to cross a beanfield, Diogenes in a barrel, and Epikuros researching whether pleasure is really the highest good with a pretty research assistant.
