Crates of Tralles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crates of Tralles (Greek: Κράτης), an orator or rhetorician in the school of Isocrates.[1] David Ruhnken assigns to him the logoi dēmēgorikoi which Apollodorus of Athens[2] ascribes to the Academic philosopher, Crates.[3] Gilles Ménage[4] is wrong in supposing that Crates is mentioned by Lucian.[5] The person there spoken of is Critias the sculptor.
