Antisthenes (Heraclitean)

Antisthenes (Ancient Greek: Ἀντισθένης) was a man of ancient Greece who was a disciple of Heraclitus, on whose work he wrote a commentary.^[1]

It is not improbable that this Antisthenes may be the same as the one who wrote a work on the succession of the Greek philosophers (αἱ τῶν φιλοσόφων διαδοχαί), which is so often referred to by Diogenes Laërtius in his own work,^[2] unless it appear preferable to assign it to the peripatetic philosopher of this name mentioned by Phlegon of Tralles, Antisthenes of Rhodes.^[3]
