Cleobulus

Cleobulus (/ˌklioʊˈbjuːləs, kliˈɒbjələs/; Greek: Κλεόβουλος ὁ Λίνδιος, Kleoboulos ho Lindios; fl.

[1] Clement of Alexandria called Cleobulus king of the Lindians,[2] and Plutarch spoke of him as the tyrant.

[3] The letter quoted by Diogenes Laërtius, in which Cleobulus invites Solon to Lindus as a democratic place of refuge from the tyrant Peisistratus in Athens, is undoubtedly a later forgery.

[5] Cleobulus is said to have lived to the age of seventy,[6] and to have been greatly distinguished for strength and beauty of person.

French scholar Pierre Waltz analyzed the problem in the Anthologie Grecque[8] Likewise an enigma is attributed to him is recorded in the Palatine Anthology (XIV).
