He is said to have accused Epicurus of being depraved, and to have forged fifty letters, professing to have been written by Epicurus, to prove it.[1] According to Athenaeus, who is evidently alluding to the same story in a passage where Diotimus apparently should be substituted for Theotimus, he was convicted of the forgery, at the suit of Zeno the Epicurean, and put to death.[2] We learn from Clement of Alexandria,[3] that he considered happiness or well-being to consist, not in any one good, but in the perfect accumulation of blessings, which looks like a departure from strict Stoicism to the more sober view of Aristotle.[4]
