The lengthy account of Cynicism given by Diogenes Laërtius,[2] which is presented from a Stoic point of view, may be derived from Apollodorus,[3] and it is possible that he was the first Stoic to promote the idea of a line of Cynic succession from Socrates to Zeno (Socrates Antisthenes Diogenes Crates Zeno). His book on Physics was well known in ancient times, and the Stoic Theon of Alexandria wrote a commentary on it in the 1st century AD.[4] It is quoted several times by Diogenes Laërtius, and Stobaeus records Apollodorus' views on the nature of time: Wikipedia articles with VIAF identifiers ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6384.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6384.txt
