Sosicrates of Rhodes (Greek: Σωσικράτης ὁ Ῥόδιος; fl. c.
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.
