Aristocreon
Aristocreon (; fl. 200 BC) was a Stoic philosopher and the nephew of Chrysippus.
He was a son of the sister of Chrysippus, and became his pupil.〔Diogenes Laertius, vii. 185; Plutarch, ''De Stoicorum repugnantiis'' 1033e〕 Chrysippus dedicated several of his works to him.〔Diogenes Laertius, vii. 196-7, 202〕 Of the few facts known about Aristocreon's life, it is known that between 229 and 190 BC, he was in Athens, where he obtained the official position of a Proxenos (a consular agent acting for another city).〔Tiziano Dorandi, ''Chapter 2: Chronology'', in Algra et al. (2005) ''The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy'', page 40. Cambridge University Press〕 He was still alive in Athens in 184 BC.〔 Plutarch records that Aristocreon erected a bronze statue of his uncle on a pillar and engraved a verse to him:
Of uncle Chrysippus Aristocreon this likeness erected;
The knots the Academy tied, the cleaver, Chrysippus, dissected.〔Plutarch, ''De Stoicorum repugnantiis'' 1033e〕
It is not known whether this Aristocreon is the same as the author of a description of Egypt.〔Pliny, ''Naturalis historia'', v. 9., vi. 29., 30.; Aelian, ''Natura Animalium'', vii. 40.〕
