Abstract

Why doesn’t Diogenes Laertius give a full account of Crates’ literary production? Why doesn’t he deal with him in the same way he does with Antisthenes and Diogenes? Several answers are plausible : Laertius leaves out some Crates’ writings on purpose, in order to avoid repetitions in his book as a whole ; since he holds Antisthenes to be the founder of Cynicism, Laertius deliberately passes over some Crates’ writings which could bring their author closer to Diogenes and so highlight the latter’s prominent role in the Cynic movement ; finally, since his aim is to write a work of history of philosophy, Laertius deliberately disregards sources foreign to this field.
