Antisthenes of Rhodes (Greek: Ἀντισθένης ὁ Ῥόδιος; fl. c.
He took an active part in the political affairs of his country, and wrote a history of his own time, which, notwithstanding his bias towards his native island of Rhodes, is spoken of in terms of high praise by Polybius.
[1] He wrote an account of the Naval Battle of Lade (201 BCE) and was, according to Polybius, a contemporary with the events he described.
It is likely that this Antisthenes is the historian who wrote a Successions of the Greek philosophers, which is often referred to by Diogenes Laërtius.
[3] Plutarch mentions an Antisthenes who wrote a work called Meleagris, of which the third book is quoted;[4] and Pliny the Elder speaks of an Antisthenes who wrote on the pyramids.
