one of the Seven Sages, was son of Evagoras, and a native of Rhodes. He seems to have possessed considerable authority in his native city of Lindus, although the precise nature of his office is doubtful. There is still extant in Diogenes Laertius a letter from Cleobulus to Solon; and several sayings are ascribed to him which, if genuine, show him to have been considerably in advance of his age. His daughter Cleobuline was also highly distinguished for her intellectual acquirements and moral worth. She was the author of some of the most famous riddles of antiquity.
