Hermarchus
Hermarchus or Hermarch ((ギリシア語:Ἕρμαρχoς, ''Hermarkhos''), "reign of Hermes"; c. 325-c. 250 BCE〔Tiziano Dorandi, ''Chapter 2: Chronology'', in Algra et al. (1999) ''The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy'', pages 51-2. Cambridge.〕), sometimes incorrectly written Hermachus ((ギリシア語:Ἕρμαχoς, ''Hermakhos'')), was an Epicurean philosopher. He was the disciple and successor of Epicurus as head of the school. None of his writings survive. He wrote works directed against Plato, Aristotle, and Empedocles. A fragment from his ''Against Empedocles'', preserved by Porphyry, discusses the need for law in society. His views on the nature of the gods are quoted by Philodemus.
==Life==
Hermarchus was a son of Agemarchus, a poor man of Mytilene (in insular Greece), and was at first brought up as a rhetorician, but afterwards became a faithful disciple of Epicurus, who left to him his garden, and appointed him his successor as the head of his school, about 270 BC.〔Diogenes Laërtius, (''Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers'', x. 17, 24 )〕 He died in the house of ''Lysias'' at an advanced age, and left behind him the reputation of a great philosopher. Cicero has preserved a letter of Epicurus addressed to him.〔Cicero, (''De Finibus'', ii. 30 )〕
