Diogenes of Tarsus

Diogenes of Tarsus (Template:Langx; fl. 2nd century BC^[1]) was an Epicurean philosopher, who is described by Strabo^[2] as a person clever in composing improvised tragedies. He was the author of several works, which, however, are lost. Among them are:

Select lectures (Template:Langx), which was probably a collection of essays and dissertations.^[3]
Epitome of Epicurus’ ethical doctrines (Template:Langx), of which Diogenes Laërtius^[4] quotes the 12th book.
On poetical problems (Template:Langx), poetical problems which he endeavoured to solve, and which seem to have had special reference to the Homeric poems.^[5]
