K
Kaikalos (?) of Argos (400 – 300 BCE?)
Author of a poem about fishing (Halieutika), lived before O K (Ath.,
Deipn. 1 [13b] and Souda K-1596). His name is uncertain: Athe ̄naios’ MSS have Kaiklon,
while Souda calls him Kikilios. On this basis, Birt conjectured Kikinos and Meineke, more
plausibly, Kaikalos.

He ̄rophilean physician whose treatise on early He ̄rophileans is quoted by Z in
G In Hipp. Epid. VI (CMG 5.10.2.2, p. 203). Kallianax recited H and the tra-
gedians to patients experiencing anxiety before death to underscore its inevitability to
everyone, including heroes (e.g., Patroklos); only the Immortals escape death.
