Diagoras of Melos (lyric poet, 5th c BC) has received special attention for some time now because he was regarded as a radical atheist and the author of a prose work on atheism in antiquity. This book evaluates Diagoras' biography and shows that he cannot be considered to have been an atheist in the modern sense.
