Crates of Tralles (Greek: Κράτης) was an orator or rhetorician in the school of Isocrates.[1]
David Ruhnken (1768)[2] assigns to Crates of Trallus the logoi dēmēgorikoi which Apollodorus of Athens ascribes[3] to the Academic philosopher Crates of Athens. Further, Ruhnken writes, Gilles Ménage[4] was wrong in supposing that Crates was mentioned by Lucian:[5] the person mentioned by Lucian is Critias,[6] an Athenian sculptor.
