		In his Tripoliticos he described the best form of government as a mixture of monarchy, aristocracy and democracy, and illustrated it by the example of Sparta.
		Among the philosophical works of Dicaearchus may be mentioned the Lesbiaci, a dialogue in three books, in which the author endeavours to prove that the soul is mortal, to which he added a supplement called Corinthiaci.
		He also wrote a Description of the World illustrated by maps, in which was probably included his Measurements of Mountains.

	Pythagoras
		This early evidence is emphatically confirmed by Dicaearchus in the fourth century, who first comments on the difficulty of determining what Pythagoras taught and then asserts that his most recognized doctrines were “that the soul is immortal and that it transmigrates into other kinds of animals” (Porphyry, VP 19).
		Dicaearchus reports that, upon his arrival in Croton, Pythagoras gave a speech to the elders and that the leaders of the city then asked him to speak to the young men of the town, the boys and the women (Porphyry, VP 18).
		Dicaearchus reports that the teaching of Pythagoras was largely unknown, so that Dicaearchus cannot have known of the content of the speech to the women or of any of the other speeches; the speeches presented in Iamblichus (VP 37-57) are thus likely to be later forgeries (Burkert 1972a, 115).

	This text is an excerpt from a reprint of the 3rd edition of John Burnet
		The only other ancient authorities on Pythagoras were Aristoxenus of Taras, Dicaearchus of Messene, and Timaeus of Tauromenium, who all had special opportunities of knowing something about him.
		Dicaearchus said hardly anything of what Pythagoras taught his disciples was known except the doctrine of transmigration, the periodic cycle, and the kinship of all living creatures.
		Now this is most easily to be explained as a development of the primitive belief in the kinship of men and beasts, a view which Dicaearchus said Pythagoras held.

		According to Plutarch, Dicaearchus was one of the more celebrated philosophers who maintained this: 'Dicaearchus thought the soul was a harmony of the four elements'.

		Dicaearchus places many interlocutors in the first of the three books with which he expounds the arguments between learned men at Corinth.

		It is also said that he applied himself to the study of painting, and that he wrote poems, dithyrambics at first, and afterwards lyric poems and tragedies.
