Pre-Socratics It is unknown whether or not Heraclitus had any students in his lifetime. Diogenes Laertius states Heraclitus's book "won so great a fame that there arose followers of him called Heracliteans." Scholars took this to mean Heraclitus had no disciples and became renowned only after his death. According to one author, "The school of disciples founded by Heraclitus flourished for long after his death". According to another, "there were no doubt other Heracliteans whose names are now lost to us".
