'''Diogenes Laertius''' (between 200 and 500 AD) was a [[Greek]] biographer. He wrote ''Lives of Famous Philosophers'' (''Lives, Teachings, and Sayings of Famous Philosophers'', also known as ''Lives and Maxims of Those who Have Distinguished themselves in Philosophy and the Doctrines of Each Sect''). He probably wrote it in 240 AD.
In 10 books he wrote about the life of Greek philosophers, but as the case of [[Protagoras]] six hundred years after Protagoras' death, and consequently this biographies could not be accurate.
