Diogenes famously lived in a large jar

Explanation

Diogenes of Sinope was a 4th century BC Greek philosopher, the most famous of the Cynics, who lived in a large ceramic storage jar known as a pithos (often mistakenly called a barrel or wine cask). He chose this residence in Athens to practice extreme asceticism, rejecting material wealth and conventional comforts to demonstrate that true happiness requires only the basics. He is also famous for telling Alexander the Great to stop blocking his sun when the king offered him anything he desired.
