peace it yo. he was a baller. that just pretty much sums it up right thurr. loveitttt. dig it. His name seems Greek. Is it known if he was Greek or Roman? Am I correct in recalling that he wrote in Greek? john k 23:52, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Well, he might be a Roman, suggests the article. I would add that it is almost certainly wrong to classify people as Roman on the basis of living within the Roman Empire - such a classification would certainly not have been used at the time, and is not generally used by scholars today, who call Plutarch, for instance, a Greek. john k 01:19, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
e's a greek geek. dude. hello? just type in his name under a search engine and it tells ya. [NOX]
The first paragraph of the article indicates that his name might indicate Greek origin (Cilicia) or Roman citizenship (Laërtii family). He wrote in Greek, but the language would have been chosen for the convenience of the sponsor who commissioned the work, since Diogenes Laertius would necessarily be fluent in both Latin and Greek to read the authorities he cites. 70.170.47.2 09:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)Randy Hudson, 10 July 2006
When was Diogenes Laertius born? I think he lived too early to be considered a "Christian." "Christians" were not in existence until after 500 A.D. LCecere 20:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Since there is nothing known about Diogenes at all, except for his authorship of Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, it seems rational to merge the two articles. I sounded this out on the Classical Greece and Rome Wikiproject and there seemed to be broad agreement that in cases like this, where the author is a cypher, merging was probably sensible.
