Diogenes of Phoenicia (Ancient Greek: Διογένης; fl. 529–532) was a 6th-century Greek philosopher. He is known mainly for the fact that Agathias mentions him as one of the seven well-known philosophers who influenced the Academy in its final years.[1] Diogenes was born in Phoenicia, and like most other academy leaders of that time, a native of the Middle East.[2]

Diogenes was one of the philosophers who, after the closure of the Academy in 529, moved to the Sassanid Empire, and took with him a large number of works of Greek philosophy, which eventually ended up being translated into the Syrian, Hebrew, Arabic and Persian languages.[2] The philosophers later returned to the West, but their fates afterwards are unknown.[3]
