CLEOBULUS

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 494 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLEOBULUS , one of the Seven Sages of
Greece
 , a native and
tyrant
  of Lindus in Rhodes. He was distinguished for his strength and his handsome person, for the wisdom of his sayings, the acuteness of his riddles and the beauty of his lyric poetry.
Diogenes
  Laertius quotes a
letter
  in which Cleobulus invites Solon to take
refuge
  with him against
Peisistratus
 ; and this would imply that he was alive in 56o B.C. He is said to have held advanced views as to
female
 
education
 , and he was the father of the
wise
  Cleobuline, whose riddles were not less famous than his own (
Diogenes
  Laertius i. 89-93).
See F. G. Mullach, Fragmenta Philosophorum Graecorum, i. CLEOMENES (KXeo7dv is), the name of three Spartan kings of the Agiad line.
