Cleomenes the Cynic
Cleomenes (; ; fl. c. 300 BCE) was a Cynic philosopher. He was a pupil of Crates of Thebes,〔Diogenes Laërtius, vi. 95. The list of pupils at vi. 95 are at the end of the Life of Metrocles, but probably refer to Crates. Cf. R. Bracht Branham, Marie-Odile Goulet-Cazé, (2000), ''The Cynics: The Cynic Movement in Antiquity and Its Legacy'', page 392〕 and is said to have taught Timarchus of Alexandria and Echecles of Ephesus, the latter of whom would go on to teach Menedemus.〔Diogenes Laërtius, vi. 95〕
He wrote a work on ''Pedagogues'' () from which Diogenes Laërtius has preserved an anecdote concerning Diogenes of Sinope:〔Diogenes Laërtius, vi. 75〕
Cleomenes in his work on ''Pedagogues'' says that Diogenes' friends wanted to ransom him, for which he called them simpletons, for, he said, lions are not the slaves of those who feed them, but rather those who feed them are at the mercy of the lions, Fear, he added, is the mark of the slave, whereas wild beasts make human beings afraid of them.
The importance of this anecdote is that it is an early reference to the story of Diogenes being captured by pirates and being sold into slavery, lending credence to the idea that the story may well be true.
