Antipater of Tyre


Antipater of Tyre was a Stoic philosopher and a friend of Cato the Younger and Cicero.

Life

Antipater lived after, or was at least younger than, Panaetius. Cicero, in speaking of him, says, that he died "recently at Athens", which must mean shortly before 45 BC. He is mentioned by Strabo as a "famous philosopher" from Tyre. Antipater is said to have befriended Cato when Cato was a young man, and introduced him to Stoic philosophy:

Works

Diogenes Laërtius refers to another work by him called On the Cosmos :
