Talk:Diogenes Laertius
From Academic Kids
His name seems Greek. Is it known if he was Greek or Roman? Am I correct in recalling that he wrote in Greek? john k 23:52, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I categorized him as a Roman because he was a person within the Roman Empire. If you object, there is another category, Roman era philosophers, which might be more appropriate, GreatWhiteNortherner 00:43, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Well, he might be a Roman, suggests the article. I would add that it is almost certainly wrong to classify people as Roman on the basis of living within the Roman Empire - such a classification would certainly not have been used at the time, and is not generally used by scholars today, who call Plutarch, for instance, a Greek. john k 01:19, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
