EUCLID [EucLEIDES]

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 879 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
EUCLID [EucLEIDES] , of
Megara
 , founder of the Megarian (also called the eristic or dialectic) school of
philosophy
 , was
born
  c. 450 s.c., probably at
Megara
 , though
Gela
  in
Sicily
  has also been named as his birthplace (
Diogenes
  Lacrtius ii. 1o6), and died in 374. He was one of the most devoted of the disciples of Socrates. Aulus
Gellius
  (vi. io) states that, when a
decree
  was passed forbidding the Megarians to enter Athens, he regularly visited his master by night in the disguise of a woman; and he was one of the little band of intimate friends who listened to the last discourse. He withdrew subsequently with a number of fellow disciples to Megara, and it has been conjectured, though there is no
direct
  evidence, that this was the period of Plato's residence in Megara, of which indications appear in the Theaetetus. He is said to have written six dialogues, of which only the titles have been preserved. For his
doctrine
  (a combination of the principles of Parmenides and Socrates) see MEGARIAN SCHOOL.
