Sosicrates
Template:Short description Sosicrates of Rhodes (Template:Langx; Template:Fl.) was a Greek historical writer. He was born on the island of Rhodes and is noted, chiefly, for his frequent mention by Diogenes Laërtius in his Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers,[1] referencing Sosicrates as the sole authority behind such facts as Aristippus having written nothing.[2] It is inferred that Sosicrates flourished after Hermippus and before Apollodorus of Athens, and, therefore, sometime between 200 and 128 BC. Sosicrates is claimed to have penned A Succession of Philosophers, quoted by both Athenaeus[3] and Diogenes Laërtius.[4] Sosicrates also composed a work on the history of Crete,[5] though neither of the aforementioned works has survived.
