    CLEOBULO (Κλεόβουλος, Cleobùlus). - One of the seven wise men of Greece, a native of Lindos on the island of Rhodes. According to Diogenes Laertius (I, 89-93), Cleobulus, son of Evagora, who in turn traced his lineage to Heracles, would have composed poems and riddles for a total of three thousand verses. Among these, Diogenes recalls the epitaph of Midas, otherwise included in the collection of epigrams traditionally ascribed to Homer, and the well-known riddle of the year, otherwise attributed, in the Anthology, to his daughter Cleobulina, also famous as a poet and author of logogrifi. Diogenes Laertius also cites a letter from Cleobulus to Solon, which of course is spurious and derives from late epistolographic literature.

      is an ancient Hellenistic crypt - but it would not bury the Kleoboulus there.

        I left before sunrise just as it was getting light. The sun rose just above the burial mound (September). Then it is also nice and cool and no one is on the way. I just met a herd of goats.

        The tour also offers a great view of Lindos. But you do not have to climb onto the roof of the tomb. Sneakers are enough for the way completely. The path is littered with very sharp stones, so I would not take the walk in flip flops or sandals. In the end it's pretty steep up to the grave.
