en-wikipedia-org-5081		Crates of Thebes - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2433	327	75	285 BC[1]) of Thebes was a Cynic philosopher and the husband of Hipparchia of Maroneia who lived in the same manner as him. Diogenes Laërtius[3] preserves several different accounts of this story; one of them has Crates giving his money away to the citizens of Thebes, apparently after seeing the beggar king Telephus in a tragedy; whereas another account has him placing his money in the hands of a banker, with the agreement that he should deliver it to his sons, unless they too became philosophers, in which case he should distribute it among the poor. Crates wrote a book of letters on philosophical subjects, the style of which is compared by Diogenes Laërtius to that of Plato;[22] but these no longer survive. Crates was also the author of some philosophical tragedies, and some smaller poems apparently called Games (Ancient Greek: Παίγνια, Paignia). "Diogenes in his barrel and Crates of Thebes who gives up wealth for virtue." 15th-century manuscript.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5081.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5081.txt
