He is generally thought to be different from the sixth-century Pre-Socratic philosopher Pherecydes of Syros, who was sometimes mentioned as one of the Seven Sages of Greece and was reputed to have been the teacher of Pythagoras.[3] Although the Suda considers them separately, he is possibly the same person as Pherecydes of Leros.[4]
