OverviewAI-generated

Protagoras was a male philosopher who worked within the fields of sophism and Pre-Socratic philosophy. He spoke and wrote in Ancient Greek and adhered to a worldview of agnosticism. His significant places included Teos and Ancient Abdera, which was also his place of birth. He authored three works, including *La parole de Protagoras*, *Dissoi Logoi - Textos Relativistas*, and *Protagora*.

Born in the 5th century BC, Protagoras died in 420 BCE in the Ionian Sea. The cause of his death was drowning. He is described by sources such as the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, the Granat Encyclopedic Dictionary, The Nuttall Encyclopædia, and Pauly–Wissowa.
