Prodicus wrote in Ancient Greek, which was also the language he spoke.

His notable works include *Epicteti Manuale*, *Cebetis Thebani Tabula*, *Prodici Hercules, et Theophrasti Characteres ethici*, and *Judgment of Hercules*. He was associated with the significant places of Kea and Chios. Among his students were Xenophon, Theramenes, and Isocrates. Prodicus is described in sources such as the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary and the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition.
