APAMIA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Cleochares (Kleochares), a Greek orator of Myrleia in Bithynia, contemporary with
the orator Demochares and the philosopher Arcesilas, towards the close of the
third century B. C. The chief passage relating to him is in Rutilius Lupus(de
Figur. Sentent.), where a list of his orations is given. He also wrote on rhetoric:
a work in which he compared the styles of Isocrates and Demosthenes, and said
that the former resembled an athlete, the latter a soldier, is quoted by Photius
(Cod. 176, ed. Bekker). The remark there quoted is, however, ascribed to Philip
of Macedon by Photius himself (Cod. 265, ed. Bekker), and by the Pseudo-Plutarch
(de Vit. X Or. viii. 25). The obvious explanation is, that Cleochares inserted
the observation in his work as having been made by Philip. None of his orations
are extant. (Strab. xii.; Diog. Laert. iv. 41)

He quoted the opinion of St. John about the Logos without mentioning the name of the Apostle : this extract has been preserved by Eusebius.
