Bias von Priene gehörte zusammen mit Thales von Milet, Pittakos von Mytilene und Solon von Athen zum festen Kanon der Sieben Weisen. Und wie diesen wurden ihm zahlreiche Aussprüche und Sentenzen zugeschrieben. Die problematische Quellenlage zu seinem Leben und Wirken bedingt oftmals Ungewissheit und lässt mancherlei unterschiedliche Annahmen zu.
