Krates of Thebes

Résumé

Krates of Thebes (ca. 368/365–288/285), who adopted the Cynic way of life and renounced his fortune, was a pupil of Diogenes of Sinope. His marriage with Hipparchia of Maroneia (who was herself a Cynic philosopher) was known as a kynogamia (marriage of dogs) since everything was done in public by the spouses. Krates left a diverse poetic works, written in a parodic and witty style, but with a moral purpose and promoting the natural and simple life. He taught Zeno of Kition, the founder of Stoicism, and influenced, thus, the early Stoic view of nature. Menippos of Gadara and Bion of Borysthenes might also have been his pupils.
