Hippocrates
Mentioned by Plato The writings attributed to Hippocrates apparently were collected at Cos from early scientific observations by Hippocrates and other physicians of his era. The Hippocratic Oath has had a tremendous influence on the ethics of medical practice from that day to this. Although Hippocrates criticized traditional beliefs that the gods cause illnesses, the oath begins by swearing to the gods of health. In the Hippocratic oath physicians promise to benefit patients and abstain from whatever is harmful, to give no deadly medicine nor give a woman a pessary to induce an abortion. In entering homes to benefit the sick they must abstain from any voluntary mischief including seduction. Hippocrates recommended that physicians study nature and the whole subject of medicine that shows what people are in relation to food and drink and other occupations with the effects of each. He noted that large quantities of undiluted wine make one feeble, although he occasionally prescribed some wine. General rules often have exceptions. Cheese, for example, is not equally injurious to everyone. The physician should know the effects of fasting or eating various amounts or drinking soups, and so on. His most famous aphorism is the very first one: Life is short, and art long;

Contents LIFE OF ANTISTHENES LIFE OF DIOGENES. LIFE OF MONIMUS. LIFE OF ONESICRITUS. ... THE LIFE OF MENEDEMUS. LIFE OF ANTISTHENES I. ANTISTHENES was an Athenian, the son of Antisthenes. And he was said not to be a legitimate Athenian; in reference to which he said to some one who was reproaching him with the circumstance, "The mother of the Gods too is a Phrygian;" for he was thought to have had a Thracian mother. On which account, as he had borne himself bravely in the battle of Tanagra, he gave occasion to Socrates to say that the son of two Athenians could not have been so brave. And he himself, when disparaging the Athenians who gave themselves great airs as having been born out of the earth itself, said that they were not more noble as far as that went than snails and locusts. II. Originally he was a pupil of Gorgias the rhetorician; owing to which circumstance he employs the rhetorical style of language in his Dialogues, especially in his Truth and in his Exhortations. And Hermippus says, that he had originally intended in his address at the assembly, on account of the Isthmian games, to attack and also to praise the Athenians, and Thebans, and Lacedaemonians; but that he afterwards abandoned the design, when he saw that there were a great many spectators come from those cities. Afterwards, he attached himself to Socrates, and made such progress in philosophy while with him, that he advised all his own pupils to become his fellow pupils in the school of Socrates. And as he lived in the Piraeus, he went up forty furlongs to the city every day, in order to hear Socrates, from whom he learnt the art of enduring, and of being indifferent to external circumstances, and so became the original founder of the Cynic school.

LIFE OF DIOGENES
I. DIOGENES was a native of Sinope, the son of Tresius, a money-changer. And Diocles says that he was forced to flee from his native city, as his father kept the public bank there, and had adulterated the coinage. But Eubulides, in his essay on Diogenes, says, that it was Diogenes himself who did this, and that he was banished with his father. And, indeed, he himself, in his Perdalus, says of himself that he had adulterated the public money. Others say that he was one of the curators, and was persuaded by the artisans employed, and that he went to Delphi, or else to the oracle at Delos, and there consulted Apollo as to whether he should do what people were trying to persuade him to do; and that, as the God gave him permission to do so, Diogenes, not comprehending that the God meant that he might change the political customs of his country if he could, adulterated the coinage; and being detected, was banished, as some people say, but as other accounts have it, took the alarm and fled away of his own accord. Some again, say that he adulterated the money which he had received from his father; and that his father was thrown into prison and died there; but that Diogenes escaped and went to Delphi, and asked, not whether he might tamper with the coinage, but what he could do to become very celebrated, and that in consequence he received the oracular answer which I have mentioned.

Biographies and writings of the two philosophers known as diogenes.
http://members.tripod.com/~Diogenes_MacLugh/diogenes.html
Diogenes
There are two men from ancient Greece who bear the name of Diogenes. The most renowned of these is Diogenes of Sinope, the philosopher who walked throughout Athens carrying a lantern in daylight, searching for an honest man. The other is Diogenes Laertius, who lived in the 3rd Century CE and was an historian of various teachers of philosophy, including the teachings and customs of the Druids. The following are articles written about each of these men with whom I share not only a name, but common interests as well.
Diogenes of Sinope
by Robert S. Brumbaugh
Diogenes of Sinope, d. c.320 BC, was a Greek philosopher, perhaps the most noted of the CYNICS. He pursued the Cynic ideal of self-sufficiency, a life that was natural and not dependent upon the nonessential luxuries of civilization. A student of ANTISTHENES, he is credited with the development of the chreia (moral epigram), with a scandalous attack of convention entitled Republic (which influenced ZENO OF CITIUM), and with tragedies illustrative of the human predicament.
Because Diogenes believed that virtue was better revealed in action than in theory, he made his life a protest against what he thought of as a corrupt society. He is said to have lived in a large tub, rather than house, and to have gone about Athens with a lantern in the daytime, claiming to be looking for an honest manbut never finding one. In later art, Diogenes is often depicted in a torn cloak, with a dog, carrying a lantern.

Members Scheduled Meetings Activities Links The Diogenes Club of Dallas is a group devoted to the study of Sherlock Holmes and his times. The literary society is a Branch Office of the Franco-Midland Hardware Company, the International Sherlock Holmes Study Group and a scion society of the Baker Street Irregulars. For further information, please e-mail Jim Webb, MHS From The Greek Interpreter: Holmes: "By no means. What is to me a means of livelihood is to him the merest hobby of a dilettante. He has an extraordinary faculty for figures, and audits the books in some of the government departments. Mycroft lodges in Pall Mall, and he walks round the corner into Whitehall every morning and back every evening. From year's end to year's end he takes no other exercise, and is seen nowhere else, except only in the Diogenes Club , which is just opposite his rooms." Watson: "I cannot recall the name." Holmes: "Very likely not. There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere."

For all we do here at this site to combat hunger and poverty and raise awareness of the present-day hunger and poverty epidemics, this site wouldn't be complete without a page dedicated to my number one hero Diogenes (412 BC - 323 BC), the wise social critic who gave up possessions and chose to live in poverty.
-Scott Hughes,
A Socrates Gone Mad
The people of ancient Greece knew the philosopher Diogenes by many nick names. Plato called Diogenes "a Socrates gone mad". Most often the Greeks called Diogenes "the dog". The Greek word for dog was "cynic". In fact, Diogenes teacher Antisthenes - pupil of Socrates - founded the Greek school of cynicism, and Diogenes was and is the most notorious cynic. Now you know the etymology of the word cynic. The story of how Diogenes and Antisthenes came together is an interesting one. Attracted by the ascetic teaching of Antisthenes, Diogenes came to be his student. Antisthenes struck Diogenes with his staff when Diogenes first came to the doors of the cynic school, but Diogenes refused to leave and said "Strike me, Antisthenes, but you will never find a stick sufficiently hard to remove me from your presence, while you speak anything worth hearing." Then, Diogenes became a student of Antisthenes. Diogenes became the pupil of Antisthenes and rapidly surpassed his master both in reputation and in the austerity of his life. Unlike the other citizens of Athens, Diogenes avoided earthly pleasures. His attitude was grounded in his great disdain for what he perceived as the folly, vanity, pretence, self-deception, social climbing, and artificiality of much human conduct.

"Diogenes, Having Failed in his Search for an Honest Man, Finds Some Stoic Dogs"
Jerome Gerôme
Having completed the series of paintings known collectively as The Burger Wars , Gerôme searched for another subject worthy of his prodigious talents. He finally settled on Animal/Human Communication, beginning with Balaam's Sassy Ass and ending with the well-known mural with all the monkeys and typewriters, Shakespeare Explained
The Diogenes painting, which falls in the middle of this series, depicts the Greek philosopher in his later years. Having abandoned his search for an honest Athenian citizen, he turned his attention to the next best thing, managing to scare up four trustworthy dogs. He then set about teaching them to communicate with him, using a war-surplus Aldis lamp and a signal code of his own devising. Teaching dogs to communicate, he thought, would be a wonderful refutation of his critics, who had named him and his followers "Cynics" after their doglike habits (Diogenes himself lived in a studio doghouse adjacent to the Athens theatre district).
Although he labored for years he was ultimately unsuccessful. His pupils managed to learn

Encyclopedia Article Find in this article View printer-friendly page E-mail Diogenes of Sinope (c. 412-323 bc ), Greek philosopher, generally considered the founder of the Cynics , an ancient school of philosophy . Born in Sinope (modern Sinop, Turkey), he studied in Athens , where he was a disciple of the philosopher Antisthenes , who taught that social conventions should be disregarded and pleasure shunned. Diogenes plunged into a life of austerity and self-mortification. He wore coarse clothing, ate plain food, and slept on the bare ground, in the open streets, or under porticoes. His eccentric life did not, however, lose him the respect of the Athenians, who admired his contempt of comfort. Practical good was the chief aim of Diogenes's philosophy, and he did not conceal his disdain for literature and the fine arts. He laughed at men of letters for reading of the sufferings of Odysseus while neglecting their own, and at orators who studied how to enforce truth but not how to practice it. On a voyage to Aegina he was seized by pirates and carried to Crete, where he was sold as a slave. When asked what business he was proficient in, he answered, “in commanding”. He was purchased by a certain Xeniades of Corinth, who recognized his worth, set him free, and made him tutor to his children.

MODERN ANCIENTS
In Search of an Honest Man
BY ADRIAN VRETTOS ONE of my all-time heroes is Diogenes the Cynic, who spent most of his life chilling in his barrel outside the city-state of Corinth . He was the original Cynic because he believed that men and women lived a life dictated by rules and taboos and therefore no one was really truthful or honest. Actually Diogenes is my hero because he was witty, rude, and had little respect for authority. For example, when Alexander the Great rode down to visit Diogenes in his barrel, he offered Diogenes any gift of his choice. With a scowl, Diogenes snapped back his response: "What you've taken away, you can never give me." "Huh?" said Alex.
