Theophrastus wrote a series of character descriptions in 3rd C BCE Athens. The Obtuse Man describes a fictional character based on Theophrastus' encounters with real Athenians and perfectly describes the distractible and often frustrating symptoms of ADHD.
Dr Gina Musket of the University of Liverpool Classics department talks about 3rd/4th C Athens, Theophrastus and life in Ancient Greece.
