Sosicrates of Rhodes (Greek:Σωσικράτης ὁ Ῥόδιος;fl. c. 180 BC) was aGreekhistorical writer. He was born on theisland ofRhodes and is noted, chiefly, for his frequent mention byDiogenes Laërtius in hisLives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers,^[1] referencing Sosicrates as the sole authority behind such facts asAristippus having written nothing.^[2] It is inferred that Sosicrates flourished afterHermippus and beforeApollodorus of Athens, and, therefore, sometime between 200 and 128 BC. Sosicrates is claimed to have penned ASuccession of Philosophers, quoted by bothAthenaeus^[3] and Diogenes Laërtius.^[4] Sosicrates also composed a work on the history ofCrete,^[5] though neither of the aforementioned works has survived.
