Crates of Athens (Greek: Κράτης; died 268–264 BC〔Tiziano Dorandi, ''Chapter 2: Chronology'', in Algra et al. (1999) ''The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy'', page 48. Cambridge.〕) was the son of Antigenes of the Thriasian deme, the pupil and eromenos〔"ἐρώμενος Πολέμωνος": Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 21〕 of Polemo, and his successor as ''scholarch'' of the Platonic Academy,〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 21〕 in 270/69 BC. The intimate friendship of Crates and Polemo was celebrated in antiquity, and Diogenes Laërtius has preserved an epigram of the poet Antagoras, according to which the two friends were united after death in one tomb.〔 The epigram, according to him, reads: "Stranger, who passest by, relate that here The God-like Crates lies, and Polemo; Two men of kindred nobleness of mind; Out of whose holy mouths pure wisdom flowed, And they with upright lives did well display, The strength of all their principles and teaching." 〔http://classicpersuasion.org/pw/diogenes/dlcrates.htm〕 The most distinguished of the pupils of Crates were the philosopher Arcesilaus, who succeeded him as ''scholarch'', Theodorus the Atheist, and Bion of Borysthenes.〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 23〕 The writings of Crates are lost. Diogenes Laërtius says that they were on philosophical subjects, on comedy, and also orations;〔 but the latter were probably written by Crates of Tralles. ==See also== * Crates of Thebes * Crates of Tralles * Platonic Academy * Diogenes Laertius 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crates of Athens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
