  Diogenes Apolloniates
Diogenes is the subject of numerous apocryphal stories, one of which depicts his behaviour upon being sold into slavery.
Though Diogenes himself lived in poverty, slept in public buildings, and begged his food, he did not insist that all men should live in the same way but merely intended to show that happiness and independence were possible even under reduced circumstances.
Diogenes is described as having being visited by Alexander the Great during the latter's conquest of Asia Minor.

Diogenes also imputed to air an intellectual energy, though without recognizing any distinction between mind and matter.
In spite of his strange eccentricities, Diogenes ap­pears to have been much respected at Athens, and to have been privileged to rebuke anything of which he disapproved with the utmost possible licence of expression.
The removal of Diogenes from Athens was the result of a voyage to Aegina, in the course of which the ship was taken by pirates, and Diogenes carried to Crete to be sold as a slave.

"DIOGENES the Cynic," Greek philosopher, was born at Sinope about 412 B.C., and died in 323 at Corinth, according to Diogenes Laertius, on the day on which Alexander the Great died at Babylon.
His father, Icesias, a money-changer, was imprisoned or exiled on the charge of adulterating the coinage.
The interview between Diogenes and Alexander is represented in an ancient marble bas-relief found in the Villa Albani.

As a young man Diogenes went to Athens, where he became a student of Antisthenes, with whom he founded the Cynic sect.
He was born in Sinop, Asia Minor, on the Black Sea, captured by pirates, and sold as a slave to a Corinthian named Xeniades, who appointed Diogenes tutor to his two sons.
His views of human nature were the views of Diogenes, tempered by Rochefoucauld; his personal habits were slovenly in the last degree; and his favorite boast was that he had outlived all human prejudices.

It was said even (by Diogenes) that he was the first man that ever wrote a work in prose.
The latter statement would not bear too close an examination, yet it is true that no extensive prose compositions of an earlier day than this have been preserved, though numerous others are known by their fragments.
But Anaxagoras and Diogenes (Apolloniates), who say that all animals respire, have also endeavored to explain how fishes, and all those animals that have a hard, rough shell, such as oysters, mussels, etc., respire.

As it grows warm and rarefied, air becomes fire; as it cools and condenses it becomes water, then earth and rock.
A similar belief was attributed by some ancient sources to Diogenes Apolloniates (late 5th century BCE), who also linked air with intelligence and soul (psyche), but other sources claim that his arche was a substance between air and fire.
Aristophanes parodied such teachings in his play The Clouds by putting a prayer to Air in the mouth of Socrates.
