Simmias of Thebes (Ancient Greek: Σιμμίας Θηβαῖος; fl. 5th–4th century BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, disciple of Socrates, and a friend of Cebes. In his Memorabilia, Xenophon includes him in the inner circle of Socrates' followers.[2] He appears in Plato's Phaedo as a main discussion partner of Socrates alongside Cebes, as well as Crito,[3]Phaedrus,[4] and EpistleXIII.[5]
In addition to the references in Plato and Xenophon, Diogenes Laërtius mentions Simmias as the author of 23 brief dialogues, now lost, including On Philosophy and On Music.[6] Simmias appears as a character in Plutarch's De Genio Socratis section of the Moralia.[7] A pseudepigraphic letter from Xenophon to Simmias and Cebes is included in the Cynic epistles attributed to Socrates' followers.[1] Two short works are also attributed to him in the Greek Anthology, a couplet on Sophocles and an epitaph on Plato.[1]
