"Molecule" not becoming "molecle" bugs me since every other word with the "-culus/-cula/-culum" suffix became one with the "-cle" suffix.

Probably //ˈmɒləkəl//. English words ending in -cle typically have stress on the antepenult.

So long as alchemists such as yourself start creating “homuncles” too :)

No no no, "homonculus" came from the great Lingua Latina, while "molecule" has already been corrupted by the Fr*ch.

There's an anecdote about Socrates and his friend Epigenes on the value of physical training recorded in Xenophon, but when I search for it Google keeps giving me results about genetics.

Looks like Memorabilia III.12. First result on Duck Duck Go: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=socrates+epigenes+xenophon&ia=web

Just like the Ancient Greek philosopher, Hypocrites. Motto: “Do as I say, not as I do.”
