Cratippus of Pergamon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cratippus of Pergamon Cratippus of Pergamon (), was a leading Peripatetic philosopher of the 1st century BC who taught at Mytilene and Athens. The only aspects of his teachings which are known to us are what Cicero records concerning divination. ==Life== Cratippus was a contemporary and friend of Cicero who had a very high opinion of him, for he declared Cratippus to be the most distinguished of the Peripatetics that he had known,〔Cicero, ''de Officiis'', iii. 2〕 and thought him at least equal to the greatest of his school.〔Cicero, ''De Divinatione'', i. 3.〕 Cratippus lived for a time at Mytilene, and accompanied Pompey in his flight after the Battle of Pharsalia, endeavouring to comfort and rouse him by philosophical arguments.〔Plutarch, ''Pomp.'' 75; comp. Aelian, ''Varia Historia'', vii. 21.〕 Several eminent Romans, such as M. Marcellus and Cicero himself, were taught by him, and in 44 BC Cicero's son was his pupil at Athens, and was tenderly attached to him.〔Cicero, ''Brut.'' 31, ''ad Fam.'' xii. 16, xvi. 21, ''de Officiis'', i. 1, ii. 2, 7.〕 Young Cicero seems also to have visited Asia in his company.〔Cicero, ''Ad Fam.'' xii. 16.〕 When Julius Caesar was at the head of the Roman republic, Cicero obtained from him Roman citizenship for Cratippus, and also induced the council of the Areopagus at Athens to invite the philosopher to remain in the city and to continue his instructions in philosophy.〔Plutarch, ''Cicero'', 24.〕 Although Cicero speaks of him as the leading philosopher of the Peripatetic school,〔Cicero, ''Tim.'' 1, cf. ''de Officiis'', iii. 2〕 it is not certain if he was the scholarch.〔H. B. Gottschalk, (1987), ''Aristotelian Philosophy in the Roman World from the Time of Cicero to the End of the Second Century AD'', in W. Haase (ed.), ''ANRW: Geschichte und Kultur Roms im Spiegel der neueren Forschung'', page 1096. Walter de Gruyter〕 After the murder of Caesar, Brutus, while staying at Athens, also attended the lectures of Cratippus.〔Plutarch, ''Brutus'', 24.〕
