About Theaetetus
Theaetetus was a poet.
Theaetetus (Greek: Θεαίτητος, TheaÃtÄ“tos; fl. 3rd century BC) was a poet of the Greek Anthology.
Of Theaetetus the poet, we only know with certainty that he lived at or after the time of the Academic philosopher Crantor, his epitaph upon whom is preserved by Diogenes Laertius. Crantor flourished about Olympiad 116, 316 BC. Six epigrams of Theaetetus are contained in the Greek Anthology; another is by the later Theaetetus Scholasticus.
