He lived a life of cheerful simplicity, and Plutarch, who wrote a detailed biography of Crates which unfortunately does not survive, records what sort of man Crates was:

There are also several fragments surviving of a poem Crates wrote describing the ideal Cynic state which begins by parodying Homer's description of Crete.

The relationship between Crates and Hipparchia became the subject of a number of fictional accounts, such as the play Spozalizio d ' Ipparchia filosofa, wrote by Italian nun Clemenza Ninci in the 17th century, or Christoph Martin Wieland's novel Krates und Hipparchia ( 1804 ).

Besides his work on Homer, Crates wrote commentaries on the Theogony of Hesiod, on Euripides, on Aristophanes, and probably on other ancient authors ; a work on the Attic dialect ; and works on geography, natural history, and agriculture, of all of which only a few fragments exist.

Crates gave away his money to live a life of poverty on the streets of Athens.

Some scholars, drawing on the discovery of defaced coins from Sinope dating from the period 350-340 BCE, believe that Diogenes only moved to Athens after the death of Antisthenes, and it has been argued that the stories linking Antisthenes to Diogenes were invented by the Stoics in a later period in order to provide a succession linking Socrates to Zeno, via Antisthenes, Diogenes, and Crates.

We have now traced on a spherical surface the area in which we say the inhabited world is situated ; and the man who would most closely approximate the truth by constructed figures must necessarily take for the earth a globe like that of Crates, and lay off on it the quadrilateral, and within the quadrilateral put down the map of the inhabited world.

For Crates, following the mere form of mathematical demonstration, says that the torrid zone is " occupied " by Oceanus and that on both sides of this zone are the temperate zones, the one being on our side, while the other is on the other side of it.

Now, just as these Ethiopians on our side of Oceanus, who face the south throughout the whole length of the inhabited land, are called the most remote of the one group of peoples, since they dwell on the shores of Oceanus, so too, Crates thinks, we must conceive that on the other side of Oceanus also there are certain Ethiopians, the most remote of the other group of peoples in the temperate zone, since they dwell on the shores of this same Oceanus ; and that they are in two groups and are " sundered in twain " by Oceanus.

The Greek cartographer Crates summed it all up on a globe created in about 150 BC.

" Multiplier Crates " are marked with an " X " and are usually found in hard-to-reach spots on the tracks.

Crates was also the author of some philosophical tragedies, and some smaller poems apparently called Games (, Paignia ).

Crates was the chief representative of the allegorical theory of exegesis, and maintained that Homer intended to express scientific or philosophical truths in the form of poetry.

In the 2nd century BC, Crates of Mallus devised a terrestrial sphere which divided the Earth into four continents, separated by great rivers or oceans, with people presumed to be living in each of the four regions.

Diogenes Laërtius preserves several different accounts of this story ; one of them has Crates giving his money away to the citizens of Thebes, apparently after seeing the beggar king Telephus in a tragedy ; whereas another account has him placing his money in the hands of a banker, with the agreement that he should deliver it to his sons, unless they too became philosophers, in which case he should distribute it among the poor.

Crates ' city is called Pera, which in Greek refers to the beggar's wallet which every Cynic carried:

Crates made a strong distinction between criticism and grammar, the latter of which he regarded as subordinate to the former.

A critic, according to Crates, should investigate everything which could throw light upon literature ; the grammarian was only to apply the rules of language to clear up the meaning of particular passages, and to settle the text, prosody, accentuation, etc.

Like Aristarchus of Samothrace, Crates gave the greatest attention to the works of Homer, from his labours upon which he was also surnamed Homerikos.

According to Strabo, Crates devised a globe representing the Earth, which is thus the earliest known globe representing the Earth:

Around this time, L joined Lord Finesse's Bronx-based hip hop collective Diggin ' in the Crates Crew ( DITC ) which consisted of Lord Finesse, Diamond D, O. C., Fat Joe, Buckwild, Showbiz, and A. G.

He probably lived after the time of Euclid of Megara, which makes it unlikely that he was a pupil of Euclid, as stated by some ; and others state that he was the pupil of Thrasymachus of Corinth, or of Pasicles, the brother of Crates of Thebes.

He moved to Athens where tradition says he became a pupil of Diogenes of Sinope ; the precise relationship between Crates and Diogenes is uncertain, but there is one apparent reference to Crates referring to himself as " a fellow-citizen of Diogenes, who defied all the plots of envy.

" Crates is also described as being the student of Bryson the Achaean, and of Stilpo.

Crates is shown with a staff and satchel, being approached by Hipparchia bearing her possessions in the manner of a potential bride.

Hipparchia is said to have fallen in love with Crates and with his life and teachings, and thus rejecting her wealthy upbringing in a manner similar to Crates, she married him.

We learn that Crates is supposed to have initiated his son into sex by taking him to a brothel, and he allowed his daughter a month's trial marriage to potential suitors.

* Crates: Another comic poet of the older generation, his predicament as a has-been is also lamented ( line 537 ).

Along with Antisthenes and Crates of Thebes, Diogenes is considered one of the founders of Cynicism.

The earliest known example is the one constructed by Crates of Mallus in Cilicia ( now Çukurova in modern-day Turkey ), in the mid-2nd century BC.

Following the theory of five climatic zones, Crates considered that the torrid zone is occupied by the Ocean and that, by analogy, one can imagine people living beyond the torrid zone:

A number of distinguished men too are named, whom he is said to have drawn away from Theophrastus, Aristotle of Cyrene, and others, and attached to himself ; among others Crates the Cynic, and Zeno, the founder of the Stoic school.

First he was an Academic studying under Xenocrates and Crates of Athens, then he became a Cynic, ( perhaps under Crates of Thebes ), afterwards he attached to Theodorus, the Cyrenaic philosopher whose alleged atheism is supposed to have influenced Bion, and finally he became a pupil of Theophrastus the Peripatetic.

He is said to have been a pupil of the linguist Crates of Mallus, who taught in Pergamum, and moved to Athens where he attended the lectures of Critolaus and Carneades, but attached himself principally to the Stoic Diogenes of Babylon and his disciple Antipater of Tarsus.

The Diggin ' in the Crates Crew, also known as D. I. T. C., is a New York-based hip-hop collective, deriving its name from the art of seeking out records to sample for production.

* Republic, a lost text by Crates of Thebes

A fictional biography of Crates was written by French author Marcel Schwob in his 1896 work Vies imaginaires.

He was aided by Cleomenes of Naucratis and by Crates of Olynthus, an esteemed hydraulic engineer who built the waterworks for the city and the sewer system demanded by the low-lying site.

He was followed by Crates of Thebes who gave away a large fortune so he could live a life of Cynic poverty in Athens.

Crates used for international transport should adhere to international regulations stipulated by IATA.

Carneades was succeeded, in his old age ( 137 / 6 BC ), by his namesake Carneades, son of Polemarchus, but the younger Carneades died 131 / 0 BC and was succeeded by Crates of Tarsus.
