CEBES

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 592 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CEBES , the name of two Greek philosophers. (1) CEBES OF Cvzscus, mentioned in Athenaeus (iv. 156 D), seems to have been a Stoic, who lived during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Some would attribute to him the Tabula Cebetis (see below),but as that
work
  was well known in the time of Lucian, it is probably to be placed earlier. (2) CEBES OF THEBES, a disciple of Socrates and Philolaus. He is one of the speakers in the Phaedo of Plato, in which he is represented as an
earnest
  seeker after virtue and truth, keen in argument and cautious in decision. Three dialogues, the `E(3Son, the 4puvtXos and the Ilivat, or Tabula, are attributed to him by Suidas and
Diogenes
  Laertius. The two former are lost, and most scholars deny the authenticity of the Tabula on the ground of material and verbal anachronisms. They attribute it either to Cebes of Cyzicus (above) or to an
anonymous
  author, of the 1st century A.D., who assumed the character of Cebes of Thebes. The
work
  professes to be an interpretation of an allegorical picture in the temple of Cronus at Athens or Thebes. The author develops the Platonic theory of pre-existence, and shows that true education consists not in mere erudition, but rather in the formation of character.
The' Tabula has been widely translated both into European languages and into Arabic (the latter version published with the Greek text and Latin
translation
  by
Salmasius
  in 164o). It is usually printed together with
Epictetus
 .
Separate
  editions by C. S. Jerram (with introduction and notes, 1878), C. Prachter (1893), and many others. See Zeller's History of Greek Philosophy; F. Klopfer, De Cebetis Tabula (18181822) ; C. Prachter, Cebetis Tabula quanam aetate conscripta esse videatur (1885).
