Abstract
El presente trabajo analiza la validez de las χρεῖαιo ‘anécdotas’ sobre Diógenes de Sinope (413-323 a.C.) como fuente para su estudio desde un punto de vista histórico, teniendo en cuenta el debate existente en torno al tema. Se estudian las características de la χρεία desde la perspectiva de la teoría retórica, constatando la importancia de la expresión de las circunstancias de la anécdota. En vista de ello, se destaca que aquellas χρεῖαι sobre Diógenes que poseen un contenido espacial o tópico, consideradas de forma homogénea, responden a contextos identificables en la Atenas del siglo IV que concuerdan, además, con la condición jurídica de Diógenes como meteco y su estrategia comunicativa como cínico. Esta correspondencia dotaría a las anécdotas, cuando menos, de cierta verosimilitud, pues muestran un contexto histórico coherente y reconocible en la Atenas democrática.

The characteristics of the χρεία are studied from the rethorical theory perspective, confirming the importance of the expression of the circumstances of the anecdote. In view of this, it is pointed out that those χρεῖαι about Diogenes that have a spatial or topical content, considered homogeneously, align with identifiable contexts in the Fourth-Century B.C. Athens which, furthermore, agree with Diogenes’ legal status as metic and his communicative strategy as cynic. This correspondence would give the anecdotes, at least, a certain plausibility, since they show a coherent and recognizable historical context in democratic Athens.
