Diocles is said to have been the beloved of Philolaus of the Bacchiadae family of Corinth who arose as Nomothete (lawmaker) at Thebes. Diocles quitted Corinth because of his loathing for the incestuous passion of his mother Alcyone and went away to Thebes accompanied by his lover Philolaus. There they lived together for the rest of their lives and were buried in adjoining tombs, facing each other, with Diocles' back to his hated Corinth and Philolaus facing it.[2]
