		But to return to the accusation of Diagoras, in consequence of which he Avas obliged to quit Athens,, That time Avas one in Avhich scepticism was beginning to undermine the foundations of the ancient popular belief.
		The trial of those who had broken doAvn the statues of Hermes, the profanation of the mysteries, and the accusation of Alcibiades, are symptoms Avhich shew that the unbelief, nourished by the speculations of philosophers and by the artifices of the sophists, began to appear very dangerous to the conser Amative party at Athens.
		Diagoras fled from Athens in time to escape the consequences of the attacks Avhich his enemies had made upon him.

		Meier, with full justice, infers from this passage of Aristophanes, that the poet did not approve of the proceedings of the people, who were instigated by their leaders, had become frightened about the preservation of the constitution, and were thus misled to various acts of violence.
		From Athens Diagoras first went to Pallene* in Achaia, which town was on the side of Lacedae-mon from the beginning of the Peloponnesian war, and before any other of the Achaean towns.
		Among the works of Diagoras we have mention of a work entitled Qpvyioi Xoyoi^ in which he is said to have theoretically explained his atheism, and to have endeavoured to establish it by arguments.

	Diagoras of Melos. Cosmos of the Greek Philosophers
		ot much more is known about Diagoras of Melos (for lack of any information on the matter, I estimate his year of flourishing to 400 BC, which should only be seen as an approximation), than that he was called atheist — probably not only in the meaning ‘ungodly' of that word.
		Athenagoras said about him, that he "made the downright assertion that god does not exist at all." Cicero states the same about him.
		According to Sextus Empiricus he became an atheist when an enemy of his perjured himself in court and got away with it.

	Conversations on Morality: Early Atheists & Morality, Cont'd
		According to some, Diagoras was a dithyrambic poet who had one of his happy conceits stolen by a rival.
		With all of this, Diagoras the atheist is never associated with peer-bucking, autonomous ethical precepts as an adjunct to his unbelief.
		On the other, if he was also the poet after all, and a very long-lived one at that, his apostasy appears to have come out of a frustrated desire for personal revenge, not from any wish to free his fellow citizens from a perceived tyranny of thought.

		The extent and number of his triumphs certainly contributed to his fame, but the virtuous character of Diagoras was as important to the ancient Greeks as his success as a boxer.
		We know that Diagoras' family was of the noble, ruling class on Rhodes, and the Rhodians claimed that the boxer himself was the son of the god Hermes.
		Olympia crowned three generations of Diagoras' family, adding to the fame that the boxer won in his own right and no doubt fueling other legends of the immortal ancestry of the Diagoras family.

	Book Review - The Athenian Murders by Jose Carlos Somoza
		He is hired by Diagoras, the dead boy's tutor at Plato's Academy who also suspects that something is out of the ordinary.
		Diagoras is a philosopher and teacher and believes that truth, virtue, and wisdom should be the ultimate pursuits in life.
		The philosophical arguments between Heracles and Diagoras (as well as others at Plato's Academy) become tiresome at points, yet within in them Somoza hides the key that brings everything together.

		The contemplative atheist is rare: a Diagoras, a Bion, a Lucian perhaps, and some others; and yet they seem to be more than they are; for that all that impugn a received religion, or superstition, are by the adverse part branded with the name of atheists.
		But the great atheists, indeed are hypocrites; which are ever handling holy things, but without feeling; so as they must needs be cauterized in the end.
