One thinker of this name was a native of Apollonia who wrote a lost treatise on meteorology, and followed Anaximenes in suggesting that all things are modifications of air. Another ancient writer of this name divided thinkers into three classes, the Sporadics, Italians, and Ionians, and is best-known for a book which was probably written at the beginning of the third century AD and which may have been addressed to a woman who had an interest in Platonism. That man was the author of a collection of Lives of Eminent Philosophers whose surname was Laertius, but he is less known than a man of this name from Sinope who was influenced by Antisthenes. FTP, give this name shared by a Cynic who was known as "Socrates gone mad" and who is said to have carried a lantern in se
