Menippus

Menippus of Gadara (; (ギリシア語:Μένιππος); fl. 3rd century BC) was a Cynic satirist. His works, which are all lost, were an important influence on Varro and Lucian. The Menippean satire genre is named after him.
==Life==
Little is known about the life of Menippus. He was a native of Gadara in Coele-Syria.〔Stephanus Byz.; Strabo, xvi.〕 The ancient sources agree that he was a slave. He was in the service of a citizen of Pontus, but in some way obtained his freedom and lived at Thebes. Diogenes Laërtius〔Diogenes Laërtius, vi. 99, 100〕 relates a dubious story that he amassed a fortune as a money-lender, lost it, and committed suicide through grief.〔"The tradition that he was a moneylender and speculator in marine insurance is probably apocryphal, resting as it does on the always dubious authority of Hermippus." Donald Dudley, (1937) ''A History of Cynicism'', page 70〕 Lucian ranks Menippus with Antisthenes, Diogenes, and Crates as among the most notable of the Cynics.
