Pancrates of Athens

Pancrates (Greek: Παγκράτης; fl. c. 140 AD) of Athens, was a Cynic philosopher.^[1] Philostratus relates, that when the celebrated sophist Lollianus was in danger of being stoned by the Athenians in a tumult about bread, Pancrates quieted the mob by exclaiming that Lollianus was not a "bread-dealer" (Greek: ἀρτοπώλης) but a "word-dealer" (Greek: λογοπώλης).^[2] Alciphron also mentions a Cynic philosopher of this name in his fictitious letters.^[3]
