Everything about Crates Of Athens totally explained
Crates of Athens (
Greek: Κράτης; died
268-
265 BC) was the son of Antigenes of the Thriasian
deme, the pupil and friend of
Polemo, and his successor as scholarch of the
Platonic Academy, perhaps about
270 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 most distinguished of the pupils of Crates were the philosopher
Arcesilaus, who succeeded him as scholarch,
Theodorus the Atheist, and
Bion of Borysthenes. 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.
