MODERATUS OF GADES , a See also:

Greek philosopher of the Neo-See also:Pythagorean school, contemporary with See also:Apollonius of Tyana. He wrote a See also:great See also:work on the doctrines of the Pythagoreans, and tried to show that the successors of See also:Pythagoras had made no additions to the views of their founder, but had merely borrowed and altered the phraseology. He has been given a fictitious importance by See also:recent commentators, who have regarded him as the forerunner of the Alexandrian School of See also:philosophy. See also:Zeller has shown that the authority on which this view is based is entirely unsound. Moderatus is thus See also:left as an unimportant though interesting representative of a type of thought which had almost disappeared since the 5th See also:century B.C. See also:Stobaeus, Eclogae, p. 3, preserves a fragment of his writings.
