Theodorus of Cyrene is spoken of in a dialogue called what in Latin?
Theodorus of Cyrene Theodorus of Cyrene (Greek: Θεόδωρος ὁ Κυρηναῖος ) was an ancient Libyan Greek and lived during the 5th century BC. The only first-hand accounts of him that survive are in three of Plato's dialogues: the "Theaetetus", the "Sophist", and the "Statesman". In the former dialogue, he posits a mathematical theorem now known as the Spiral of Theodorus.
Theodorus the Atheist Theodorus the Atheist (Greek: Θεόδωρος ὁ ἄθεος ; c. 340 – c. 250 BC ), of Cyrene, was a philosopher of the Cyrenaic school. He lived in both Greece and Alexandria, before ending his days in his native city of Cyrene. As a Cyrenaic philosopher, he taught that the goal of life was to obtain joy and avoid grief, and that the former resulted from knowledge, and the latter from ignorance. But his principal claim to fame was his alleged atheism. He was usually designated by ancient writers "Atheus" (ὁ ἄθεος ), "the Atheist."
