Antisthenes (Heraclitean): Difference between revisions

'''Antisthenes''' ({{lang-grc|Ἀντισθένης}}) was a writer from [[ancient Greece]] who was a disciple of [[Heraclitus]], on whose work he wrote a commentary.<ref>[[Diogenes Laërtius]], ''[[Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers]]'' 9.15, 6.19</ref>

This Antisthenes may be the same as the one who wrote a work on the succession of the Greek philosophers (αἱ τῶν φιλοσόφων διαδοχαί), which is often referenced by [[Diogenes Laërtius]] in his own work.<ref>Diogenes Laërtius, ''[[Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers]]'' 1.40, 2.39, 98, 6.77, 87, 7.168, &c.</ref> This remains unclear, however, and Laërtius may have been referring to the historian [[Antisthenes of Rhodes]] instead, who may have also been the same Antisthenes mentioned by [[Phlegon of Tralles]].<ref>[[Phlegon of Tralles]], ''On Wonders'' 3</ref>
