Everything about Sotion totally explained
Sotion of
Alexandria (fl. c.
200 BC –
170 BC) was a Greek
doxographer and biographer, and an important source for
Diogenes Laertius. None of his works survive; they're known only indirectly. His principal work, the Διαδοχή or Διαδοχαί (the
Successions), was the first history known to have organized philosophers into schools of successive influence: for example, the so-called
Ionian school of
Thales,
Anaximander and
Anaximenes (a modern, presumably more accurate, analogue is the
Mathematics Genealogy Project). Sotion's
Successions likely consisted of thirteen books, and at least partly drew on the doxography of
Theophrastus. The
Successions was influential enough to be abridged by
Herakleides Lembos in the mid-second century B.C., and works by the same title were subsequently written by
Sosicrates of Rhodes and
Antisthenes of Rhodes.
