Pasicles ofThebes (Greek:Πασικλῆς ὁ Θηβαῖος; 4th century BC) was aGreek philosopher and brother of theCynic philosopherCrates of Thebes. He attended the lectures of his brother Crates,[1] but he is otherwise connected with theMegarian school of philosophy, becauseDiogenes Laërtius calls him a pupil ofEuclid of Megara,[2] and theSuda calls him a pupil of an unknown "Dioclides the Megarian."[3] Pasicles is said to have been the teacher ofStilpo, who became leader of the Megarian school.[1] Thus we have the implausible (although not impossible) situation of Pasicles teaching Stilpo, Stilpo teaching Crates,[4] and Crates teaching Pasicles. Crates named his son Pasicles.[5]
