===Spectrum of topics=== Nonetheless, very few fragments from Protagoras have survived, although he is known to have written several different works: ''Antilogiae'' and ''Truth''. The latter is cited by Plato, and was known alternatively as, ''The Throws'' (a wrestling term referring to the attempt to floor an opponent). It began with the "Man is the measure" (ἄνθρωπος μέτρον) pronouncement. According to Diogenes Laërtius other books by Protagoras include: ''On the Gods'', ''Art of Eristics'', ''Imperative'', ''On Ambition'', ''On Incorrect Human Actions'', ''On Those in Hades'', ''On Sciences'', ''On Virtues'', ''On the Original State of Things'' and ''Trial over a Fee''.<ref name=stan />
